How we scored MadeMed
Each factor is judged from MadeMed's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 54/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.

$239 and $399 — but look at the map first: twenty-three states, without California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey or much of the Northeast and Midwest. The state list and the cancellation policy live inside accordions the page doesn't show up front.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked MadeMed's public signup (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the process. We did not create accounts, enter medical information, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient's outcome.
- 1Pick semaglutide or tirzepatide and a billing plan (quarterly or 6-month) — the flat price is shown before any intake
- 2Complete an online health intake; the static page alone doesn't reveal everything — the FAQ accordions had to be opened to see the eligible states and cancellation policy
- 3A board-certified physician reviews your case before approving the prescription
- 4Discreet overnight shipping arrives with the vial, the free L-carnitine add-on, and injection supplies included, at no extra charge
What we noticed
- The flat quarterly price appears before you fill out any form, so you know the number from the first click
- MadeMed only operates in 23 of 50 states — a real list that excludes California, Washington, Oregon, and most of the higher-population states; confirm your state before getting your hopes up
- Cancellation is one click from the dashboard, no phone call or 'chat queue,' per its own copy
- No page mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum — for a mom, that's a silence worth noting

What we like
- One flat monthly price at every dose — no teaser rate that jumps after the first month
- One-click cancellation from the dashboard, no phone call or chat queue, per its own copy
- The vial, the free L-carnitine add-on, the physician consult, discreet overnight shipping, and injection supplies are all included at no extra charge
- Full refund (minus a $39 doctor-visit fee) if the intake doesn't result in a prescription
The caveats
- Only operates in 23 of 50 states — excludes California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Minnesota, among others
- No page mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum
- Compounded medication only, not FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic or Mounjaro
- The default quarterly plan isn't the lowest price — the 6-month plan drops the number, but requires a longer commitment
MadeMed for moms: our verdict
$239/mo semaglutide, $399/mo tirzepatide, flat regardless of dose and billed quarterly — only in the 23 states it serves, which exclude most of the big ones. It runs about $239/mo, flat across every dose — pricier than the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We looked at MadeMed the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What MadeMed actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Quarterly plan (most popular, flat at every dose): $239/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Quarterly plan (most popular, flat at every dose): $399/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price on our list is around $175/mo, so MadeMed sits at the pricier end.
MadeMed prices flat across doses, so it doesn't climb as your dose does — which matters, because most women spend months titrating up.
That price covers the consult, the medication and shipping.
The medications MadeMed prescribes
MadeMed prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss results, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulas from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays low — but compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where it operates. MadeMed lists its coverage as: Only 23 states (not California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, or Minnesota, among others).
Where MadeMed fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
- you want friction-free cancellation — the fine print here is where the complaints cluster.
- you'd rather have a clinician talk the timing through with you, with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence in MadeMed's public data is high — the pricing, the pharmacies and the clinical network were all verifiable at our last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the decision about timing is yours and your healthcare provider's.
The bottom line
MadeMed is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the best choice overall — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line
Best for: Moms in one of the 23 eligible states who want a flat, predictable price and don't mind a one-click cancel if they change their mind.

MadeMed, answered
- Is MadeMed available in my state?
- Only in 23 of 50 states: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Minnesota, among others, are excluded — confirm your state before getting your hopes up.
- Does the price change with dose?
- No — MadeMed charges one flat monthly price regardless of the dose you need, for both semaglutide ($239/mo on the quarterly plan) and tirzepatide ($399/mo). The 6-month plan drops both numbers to $199 and $369 respectively, if you prepay longer.
- Does MadeMed talk about breastfeeding or postpartum?
- It doesn't mention it on any page. As with any GLP-1, none is proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding — if that's your main concern, a provider whose intake actually asks about it directly (like our #1 pick) is a better place to start.
Prices, states and verification reflect what MadeMed disclosed publicly at our last review; the Mama-Match Score is our editorial judgment under the published methodology. This is gentle background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
