MadeMed review: quarterly-only GLP-1 pricing, advertised as if it were monthly

MadeMed sells no month-to-month GLP-1 at all: the shortest term on offer is $717 up front every three months for injectable compounded semaglutide. Injectable tirzepatide is $1,197 a quarter, and the ’From $199/mo’ on its hero is the six-month rung, meaning $1,194 charged in one go. Its exit is the best part of the service: a seven-day email naming the amount you are about to be billed, a one-click cancel, and a pause that stops billing at once. Its entrance is weaker. A lab test is required before prescribing with no price published for it, and the only clinician named anywhere is a pharmacist on a service promising a board-certified physician. What you are pricing is compounded semaglutide blended with B12, dispensed on a prescription.

How we fund our reviews

Metabolic Pantry runs on reader support. When a product we rate links out to a seller, that link may be an affiliate link — buy through it and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. What we write about a product is the same either way — the 0–5 ratings and the candid write-ups, including on the products we earn nothing from, are settled on price, formula, and honesty. Read the full breakdown in our funding disclosure.

FTC disclosure. Metabolic Pantry has an affiliate partnership with MadeMed and may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you start a plan through our link. We reached this verdict knowing that, and every watch-out below is published in the same detail as the things we like. Full detail in our funding disclosure.

Read this first. MadeMed is a prescription medical service, not a “natural GLP-1” supplement. Its GLP-1 medication is compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — not an FDA-approved finished product like Wegovy or Zepbound. A real GLP-1 medication is far more powerful than anything on our supplement shelf, and it carries side effects, screening requirements and cost to match. Treat this as a medical decision to make with a clinician, not an impulse buy.

What we like

  • Cancellation is the best of the eleven programs we reviewed this week: a seven-day pre-charge email that names the amount you are about to be billed, a one-click cancel, and a pause that stops billing immediately rather than at the end of a term. Most of that group is all-sales-final, email-only, or both.
  • Pharmacies are named per product — one compounder for the injectables, another for the orals — and dosage is published beside the price rather than revealed after the quiz. Take the injectables one with a pinch of salt: it is given as a first name only, with no full legal entity published anywhere, so it cannot be looked up the way the oral compounder can.
  • Both oral and injectable GLP-1 are offered, and the compounding is disclosed: the injectable semaglutide is compounded with B12 and the injectable tirzepatide with L-carnitine, and it is the only program of the eleven we reviewed this week that says what its GLP-1 is compounded with.
  • The shortest term it sells is priced honestly if you read the total rather than the average: $717 up front every three months ($239/mo) for injectable compounded semaglutide, with no month-to-month plan on any GLP-1. Injectable tirzepatide is $1,197 a quarter ($399/mo).

Watch-outs

  • There is no month-to-month plan on any GLP-1, and the site never says so. Every hero and the whole treatments grid advertises 'From $X/mo', and those figures are the SIX-MONTH rung — 'From $199/mo' for injectable semaglutide means $1,194 charged up front. The tadalafil hero goes further: its 'From $49/mo' is the twelve-month rung, and the true monthly rate is $119.
  • A lab test is required before prescribing and its cost is not disclosed. NAD+ needs a comprehensive metabolic panel; sermorelin needs an IGF-1 baseline. Neither is included in the plan price and no price is published for either. The returns policy also references a 'medical consultation fee' that is never priced anywhere.
  • The only clinician named anywhere is a pharmacist — the 'Chief Medical Reviewer' is a PharmD, whose registry record does verify — while product pages promise a 'board-certified physician' consultation. No prescribing physician is named on the site at all.
  • Its NAD+ page prints 'LegitScript Verified' as static text, and the footer badge is a self-hosted image linking to LegitScript's keyword checker with no seal identifier anywhere in the markup, so there is nothing there that can be checked the way an issued seal can; we do not repeat the certification claim on this page. The NAD+ FAQ also sells a 500 mg 'starter' dose and says many customers begin there, while the store sells only 1000 mg. A 'clubMember' tier exists in its own price feed and is priced identically to the non-member tier on every single product, so the membership currently discounts nothing. NAD+ is available in 23 states only.

MadeMed vs a ‘natural GLP-1’ supplement

A supplement and a prescription GLP-1 are not two versions of the same thing, and MadeMed is a useful illustration of why the comparison needs care in both directions. A bottle of capsules is a small monthly cost with a small effect. MadeMed is a large quarterly charge with a drug-sized effect — and because it charges by the quarter, the per-month figure you would put next to a supplement is one MadeMed computes rather than one it bills. Read our supplements vs GLP-1 drugs breakdown before you decide which lane you are in.

Not ready for a prescription? Our #1 supplement pick

If you want to start with a supplement — no clinician visit, no drug side effects, no compounded sourcing to vet — the best-value option we have rated is CoreAge Rx GLP-1 Support: a transparent, clinician-backed daily probiotic with three live strains plus prebiotic fiber, from $23.83 / bottle, no prescription required. It remains our overall #1 pick across the whole supplement shelf. MadeMed is the step you take when a supplement isn’t enough — not a replacement for one.

The bottom line

MadeMed treats its customers well at the exit — a warning email before every charge, one-click cancel, an immediate pause — and badly at the entrance, where every advertised ‘/mo’ figure is a term it does not let you buy monthly and a required lab test carries no published price. Its named clinical reviewer is a pharmacist on a service promising a physician consultation. We rate it 3.4 out of 5. If you buy, budget the quarterly total and the lab, not the sticker.

Check MadeMed pricing & eligibility

This page is informational and not medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs; whether one is right for you is a decision for a licensed clinician who knows your history. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products, and quality can vary by pharmacy. Every figure on this page was read off MadeMed’s own published pages, price feeds and policy documents in August 2026; confirm current pricing, sourcing, state availability and terms with MadeMed before starting, and talk to your own doctor first. We also screened MadeMed against the FDA’s own warning-letter index, with a known positive control returned in the same pass, and found no FDA warning letter against this company.

MadeMed: the questions people ask

How much does MadeMed cost?
MadeMed publishes $717 up front every three months ($239/mo) for injectable compounded semaglutide, with no month-to-month plan on any GLP-1. That is the figure we read off its own pages and verified on August 8, 2026; prices in this category move, so check the current rate before you pay.
What is the biggest catch with MadeMed?
There is no month-to-month plan on any GLP-1, and the site never says so. Every hero and the whole treatments grid advertises 'From $X/mo', and those figures are the SIX-MONTH rung — 'From $199/mo' for injectable semaglutide means $1,194 charged up front. The tadalafil hero goes further: its 'From $49/mo' is the twelve-month rung, and the true monthly rate is $119.
What does MadeMed do well?
Cancellation is the best of the eleven programs we reviewed this week: a seven-day pre-charge email that names the amount you are about to be billed, a one-click cancel, and a pause that stops billing immediately rather than at the end of a term. Most of that group is all-sales-final, email-only, or both.
What do we rate MadeMed?
3.4 out of 5, on the same rubric as every other program on this site: what the seller publishes about price and terms, what it discloses about who dispenses, and whether its own pages agree with each other. The score has no input for whether a company pays us.

Answers reflect what MadeMed published when we checked, and the FDA warning-letter position is drawn from the FDA’s searchable database.

The other programs we have reviewed

Every prescription GLP-1 program this site has actually written up, with the price each one publishes and the terms attached to it. A program whose price we cannot state in one honest line is listed here without a number rather than with a flattering one.
