The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: MadeMed

MadeMed edges out Science & Co on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 74 (B vs C). Women who expect to titrate and want to know today what month six costs, and who want an oral route available without switching provider. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing MadeMed.

Science & Co is still a genuine option — declares in its own footer that it is not a compounding facility, and explains its own asterisk in its own FAQ — two disclosures almost nothing else here makes. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our full Science & Co review goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the alternatives to Science & Co we rank for women widens the field.

MadeMed

Ranked #7 · Grade B

What we like

  • One price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide $239/mo from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide $399/mo from 2.5mg to 15mg
  • LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
  • Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide are both offered alongside the injections

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before you start
  • Tirzepatide is among the pricier entries in this ranking at $399/mo quarterly

Science & Co

Ranked #64 · Grade C

What we like

  • States twice in its footer that "Science and Co, Inc. is not a 503A or 503B compounding facility"
  • Its own FAQ names the commitment behind the headline: "Plans start at $79 a month on the 12 month plan"
  • The printed saving corroborates the reference price — 79 divided by 149 is 53%, exactly the "Save 47%" shown

The caveats

  • The number it leads with is a twelve-month commitment; the per-month rates are $149 and $199
  • Only two figures are published per drug, so a three- or six-month plan cannot be priced without starting an intake
  • It says it is not a compounding facility but never names the pharmacy that is
