FMmeds vs PrideRx
The verdict
FMmeds takes it — 63.2/100 to 55.7/100.
FMmeds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. FMmeds is a Manhattan Beach-based DTC telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide co-formulated with vitamin B12, with no membership fee and a free initial visit billed only on approval.

Graded #261 · C
Strengths
- All 50 states plus DC covered, stated in the Terms
- Operating LLC and full Manhattan Beach, CA address disclosed
- Named 503A pharmacy partner (Manifest Pharmacy, Greer SC)
- Aggressive 12-month pricing — semaglutide $95/mo and tirzepatide $145/mo, at the low end of the market
- Flat pricing across all dose strengths — no dose-escalation surcharge
Where it loses points
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer (medication is not FDA-approved)
- Clinical network not separately named
- LegitScript Certified, but the specific ID isn't shown
- FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
Graded #435 · C
Strengths
- All three brand-name GLP-1 options on one platform — Zepbound injection, Wegovy Pill, and Foundayo — no compounded substitutes
- Medication ships from and is billed by LillyDirect or NovoCare; PrideRx never handles or re-sells the drug
- Transparent published per-dose pricing with on-page verification dates
- $99/mo membership includes doctor visits and prescription management; 24-hour prescription review
Where it loses points
- $99/mo membership on top of medication cost — all-in runs $248–$548/mo depending on drug and dose
- Legal entity and prescribing medical group are not named on the site
- No LegitScript certification visible
- State availability is not published — telehealth consult rules vary by state
