EdgeRx vs ShedRx
The verdict
ShedRx takes it — 87/100 to 79/100.
ShedRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The widest formulation spread on the board — injection, drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound lane.

Graded #44 · C+
Strengths
- Named compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy, a 503A facility compounding since 2018 — a genuine transparency signal most compounders lack
- Named Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. John Starke, MD (ABEM board-certified)
- LegitScript certified, once-weekly injectable, free shipping, no separate physician fee
- Broad protocol menu beyond GLP-1 — MICC lipotropic, sermorelin/NAD+/glutathione, skin/hair, and sexual/hormonal health tiers
Where it loses points
- Men's-only positioning — not an option for women
- Dr. Starke does not personally prescribe; the actual prescribing pool is unnamed licensed physicians
- Third-party lab testing is claimed but no specific lab is named
- Excludes Arkansas, Indiana, Minnesota and South Carolina (46 states)
- Bloodwork cost is undisclosed on the Sexual & Hormonal Health tier
Graded #3 · B+
Strengths
- Four GLP-1 routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill
- Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available beside the compounded line
- Health coaching included with membership, plus a published 120-day weight-loss guarantee
Where it loses points
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
