FMmeds vs Nova MD
The verdict
Nova MD takes it — 66.6/100 to 63.2/100.
Nova MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Nova MD is a telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on 1-month and 3-month plans, with an uncommon explicit microdose program for both molecules.
