The verdict

Rex MD takes it — 70.2/100 to 57.2/100.

Rex MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Rex MD is a US-based men's-health telehealth platform (a LifeMD brand) offering a 100 percent online GLP-1 weight-management program.

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.
