Head-to-head for women
MEDGm vs Sesame Care
MEDGm and Sesame Care both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Luna Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.
MEDGm
Ranked #68 for women · Grade C
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want to know which pharmacies fill the prescription before they start, and who will turn down the twelve-month plan once they read what renewing it costs.

Higher scoreRanked #5 for women · Grade B
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 MEDGm on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 68 (B vs C). 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. The reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
MEDGm is still a genuine option — names all four dispensing pharmacies with addresses and phone numbers, then hides the price behind a sixteen-screen intake. A $179 first month renews at $299, on a page whose own FAQ promises the price never increases. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the MEDGm scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the alternatives to MEDGm we rank for women widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors

Luna Fit
MEDGm
Ranked #68 · Grade C
What we like
- Names all four dispensing pharmacies with street addresses and phone numbers — RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Medicine and Triad Rx
- States the 503A and 503B classes and names the prescribing entities: seven OpenLoop professional corporations and Reliant MD
- Coverage is fifty states and DC in the terms and in the intake selector, with no contradiction between the two
The caveats
- No price appears until a sixteen-screen intake ending in name, email and phone number is finished
- The advertised $179 is a first-month coupon rate; the standing figure is $299, and removing the coupon rewrites the panel on the spot
- The treatments FAQ promises the price never increases, on the same page where a month-to-month plan rises from $179 to $299 at the first renewal
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
