The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: MadeMed

MadeMed edges out Telos Rx on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 83 (B vs B). 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.

Telos Rx is still a genuine option — one of the deepest catalogs we log for a woman managing metabolism and hormones together — semaglutide and tirzepatide in oral, microdosed, and injectable forms, plus bioidentical HRT and a long peptide menu, from a LegitScript-certified, HIPAA-compliant compounder. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our Telos Rx write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Telos Rx widens the field.

MadeMed

Ranked #6 · 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

Telos Rx

Ranked #11 · Grade B

What we like

  • Deep catalog that includes bioidentical HRT — genuinely relevant for women managing metabolism and hormones at once
  • Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, plus microdosed lanes for a gradual on-ramp
  • LegitScript-certified and HIPAA-compliant, with HSA/FSA accepted and free shipping

The caveats

  • Everything is compounded — not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1, and the low rates hinge on annual lock-in
  • No named clinicians and thin public reviews, so the oversight signal is harder to verify
