The verdict
SkyRx takes it — 58.9/100 to 55.9/100.
SkyRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. SkyRx (sky-rx.co) is a US telehealth weight-loss program offering compounded semaglutide as an injection or oral drops, with compounded tirzepatide listed as coming soon.
