Visit HealthRXThe verdict for women
HealthRX edges out Edessa on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 69 (B vs C). Women who want a LegitScript-certified, physician-supervised program with both molecules, an oral-tablet route as well as injections, and transparent flat pricing with no insurance to navigate. The reasoning behind that number is in the HealthRX scorecard.
Edessa is still a genuine option — clean three-rung tables one click in, behind a front page whose three cards all quote six-month rungs and whose cheapest belongs to a different drug. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Edessa goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of Edessa widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Luna Fit
Edessa
Ranked #74 · Grade C
What we like
- Each product page carries a plain three-rung table, so the commitment behind every figure is visible
- "Same price, every dose" is printed on each product page
- Names its operating entity and a full street address in Las Vegas, Nevada
The caveats
- The front page leads with "Start for just $135", a six-month prepay on the semaglutide injection; month-to-month tirzepatide is $239
- All three front-page cards quote the six-month rung, so the real monthly rates appear only after a click
- Its Terms give two corporate forms for the same company in one clause — "Edessa Group, LLC, a Nevada corporation"
Luna Fit
HealthRX
Ranked #6 · Grade B
What we like
- LegitScript-certified (a meaningful third-party trust signal) with physician-supervised care, not a prescription-only handoff
- Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP-1 tablet — real optionality for the needle-averse and for insulin-resistant PCOS
- Transparent, no-insurance flat pricing — injectable GLP-1 around $189/mo, oral tablet around $239/mo, GLP+GIP around $349/mo
The caveats
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- Some tiers are company-stated and the public site is thin, so a few figures can't be verified live
- Brand-name tiers are pass-through and expensive — brand Ozempic runs about $1,299/mo
