Luna Fit
Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out MadeMed on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 84 (B vs B). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
MadeMed is still a genuine option — a LegitScript-verified compounded program that charges one flat price at every dose — so titrating up to a working dose never quietly raises the bill. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Luna Fit
MadeMed
Ranked #8 · 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 on this board at $399/mo quarterly
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #5 · Grade B
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
The caveats
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Luna Fit Score; affiliate partners carry a capped 6-point edge in list order, never in the score itself. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Luna Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
