Lumen Meds vs Remote Pharmacy
The verdict
Remote Pharmacy takes it — 69.9/100 to 64.6/100.
Remote Pharmacy grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Remote Pharmacy is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth service offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication on a cash-pay basis with no subscriptions or hidden fees.
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.
