Defy Medical vs LevelUp Rx
The verdict
LevelUp Rx takes it — 64.2/100 to 60.2/100.
LevelUp Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. LevelUp Rx is a telehealth pharmacy offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medications - compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide - alongside a broad menu of men's and women's health treatments.
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.
