altRX vs Silhouette MD
The verdict
altRX takes it — 71.4/100 to 69.4/100, but only just.
altRX grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. altRX is a dual-modality telehealth platform offering compounded GLP-1s plus all four brand-name FDA-approved options — Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound — the most comprehensive brand-name lineup in… Silhouette MD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
