Is MadeMed worth it? The short answer
Our verdict
I remember dreading the bill at every dose increase, and MadeMed takes that worry away: each dose of the injection costs the same. A doctor reviews you in writing, with no video call, and a tablet under the tongue is on offer too. The catch is where you live. The injection reaches only 23 states, so check yours first.
- Good for: You expect to titrate toward the higher doses and want a bill that stays put
- Look elsewhere if: You live outside the 23 states where the injection is offered

What it does well, and what to watch
What we like
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose from 0.25mg to 2.4mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
- Refund of everything but a $39 visit fee if you are not prescribed — stated up front
- Sublingual semaglutide tablets offered alongside the injection, which ships free overnight with supplies included
What to watch
- At $239/mo quarterly it is well above the cheapest compounders here
- Compounded, not the brand-name product (Wegovy/Ozempic)
- The injection is offered in only 23 states (the tablet in 40), so check yours before anything else
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
Who MadeMed suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if
- You expect to titrate toward the higher doses and want a bill that stays put
- You would rather fill in a form than sit through a video visit
- Needles are a hard no and a daily tablet under the tongue sounds manageable
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside the 23 states where the injection is offered
- You want to pay one month at a time; the shortest plan bills a quarter up front
- You want to use insurance or an HSA card; MadeMed takes neither
How MadeMed works, start to finish
LegitScript-verified compounded telehealth whose distinguishing feature is that it publishes the price at every dose.
More about how it works
0.25mg through 2.4mg all cost the same — so the cost of the dose you eventually titrate to is knowable on day one. A board-certified physician reviews the intake in writing with no video call, the injection ships overnight with supplies included, and if you are not prescribed you are refunded everything except a $39 physician-visit fee, stated before checkout. A sublingual semaglutide tablet is offered alongside the injection. The injection is offered in 23 states, the tablet in 40.
- Answer MadeMed's online health questions; it says they take about five minutes.
- A board-certified doctor reviews them in writing, usually within 24 hours, with no video call.
- You pay at checkout; if you are not prescribed, all but the visit fee comes back.
- The injection ships overnight in cold packaging; switchers usually have it within 5 to 7 business days.
- Each box covers two months, and your dose rises only when you ask and the team approves.
What MadeMed includes in the price
- Doctor review and prescription, no video visit needed
- Semaglutide with added L-carnitine, at any dose
- Syringes, alcohol swabs and injection supplies
- Free overnight shipping in temperature-controlled packaging

- Optional meal plans and exercise programs at no charge
- Real people on phone, email or chat
If you want to cancel or get a refund
Your plan renews automatically, and MadeMed emails you seven days before every charge. Cancel in one click from your dashboard or by email, and it ends with the current billing period, with no prorated refund. Dispensed medication can't be returned, so if you only need a break, pause instead and billing stops right away.
Questions people ask about MadeMed
Will my MadeMed bill change when I move up to 1.7mg or 2.4mg?
No. Every injectable dose from 0.25mg to 2.4mg costs the same, with L-carnitine added at no charge. Your dose changes only when you tell the team you are ready.
Which states can get MadeMed's semaglutide injection?
Only 23 so far, among them Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Texas. The under-the-tongue tablet reaches 40 states. Check the product page for yours before you pay.
Is there a video appointment with MadeMed?
No. A board-certified doctor reviews your answers through the secure platform, and you can message the medical team there whenever a question comes up.
Can I move to MadeMed without restarting at 0.25mg?
Yes, if the doctor agrees. Share your current dose and a recent label or invoice during the consult, and you can usually continue where you are instead of starting over.
Can I pay MadeMed with insurance or an HSA card?
Neither. MadeMed accepts no insurance and says it does not take FSA or HSA cards either, so plan on paying the full cash price yourself.
