altRX vs FormBlends
The verdict
FormBlends takes it — 72.4/100 to 71.4/100, but only just.
FormBlends grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. FormBlends is a US direct-to-consumer brand selling compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication — compounded semaglutide from $99 and compounded tirzepatide from $349 — dispensed by a licensed 503A pharmacy and… altRX is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
