HealthRX vs MadeMed
Two GLP-1 desks, one scoreboard. We put HealthRX and MadeMed head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.
The verdict
Too close to call on the Brief Score.
HealthRX and MadeMed are level at 86/100. The scores won't separate them, so the pick comes down to fit: HealthRX for readers who want an accredited, physician-supervised program with a needle-free oral tablet option on either molecule — and value a legitscript trust signal, while accepting that some tiers are company-stated. MadeMed for readers who want to know the exact cost of a titrated dose before starting, and who intend to climb to a full dose.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.

HealthRX: Company-stated tiers held flat this cycle; the LegitScript badge and a rare oral GLP tablet are the draw, but some tiers are self-reported rather than checkout-verified.
MadeMed: Publishes one price per route that holds at every dose — the cleanest dose-to-price mapping we track.
● Not sold on either?
CoreAge Rx tops the whole board at 94/100.
The steadiest desk on the board: one flat, no-step-up price on both molecules, nationwide, and it hasn't moved.
