The verdict
24hrDOC takes it — 72.1/100 to 59.7/100.
24hrDOC grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. 24hrDOC is a fast cash-pay telehealth service that prescribes compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss, including once-weekly semaglutide injections, oral semaglutide tablets, and tirzepatide.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.
