MadeMed vs Care Bare Rx
The verdict
MadeMed takes it — 80.4/100 to 75/100.
MadeMed grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Publishes its price at every single dose, so what a titrated dose costs is knowable on day one.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners are listed first — a capped 3-point edge in board order only. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider. See our disclosure.

Graded #29 · B−
Strengths
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide 0.25–2.4mg, tirzepatide 2.5–15mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
- Full refund minus a $39 visit fee if you are not prescribed, stated before checkout
- Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide alongside the injections; free overnight shipping with supplies
Where it loses points
- The most expensive tirzepatide here at $399/mo quarterly
- 40 states rather than nationwide
- No published recurring lab programme
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
Graded #41 · C
Strengths
- Oral tirzepatide as well as injectable — rare on this board
- Brand Ozempic (from $705/mo) and oral Rybelsus beside the compounded line
- LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
- One platform if you also want hair, TRT, sexual health or NAD+
Where it loses points
- The advertised "from $199/mo" is one figure shared across all weight-loss treatments — neither molecule priced separately
- Per-dose pricing is quiz-gated, so a titrated cost cannot be modelled beforehand
- No named clinicians, founding year or parent company disclosed
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
Also worth a look
