Visit HealthRXThe verdict for women
Effecty edges out HealthRX on the Luna Fit Score, 87 to 85 (B+ vs B). Women who want the flexibility of both compounded and FDA-approved brand medication from a LegitScript-accredited, nationwide provider. The reasoning behind that number is in our Effecty write-up for women.
HealthRX is still a genuine option — a LegitScript-certified, physician-supervised program with a rare oral GLP-1 tablet alongside injections — both molecules, transparent no-insurance pricing, and an accreditation signal that reassures when hormones are in play.

Luna Fit
Effecty
Ranked #20 · Grade B+
What we like
- FDA-approved brand access plus compounded, both molecules
- LegitScript-accredited — a meaningful oversight signal when hormones are involved
- Nationwide across all 50 states
The caveats
- No oral/sublingual form
- Not a hormone-specialty program; PCOS framing is general
Luna Fit
HealthRX
Ranked #5 · 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
