MadeMed vs Sesame Care
The verdict
Sesame Care takes it — 87.8/100 to 80.4/100.
Sesame Care grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. An established national telehealth marketplace with the widest real brand-name GLP-1 access on the board — Wegovy (pen and pill), Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — plus provider-by-provider price transparency.
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 #3 · B+
Strengths
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
- Oral routes available (Wegovy pill, Rybelsus)
Where it loses points
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
Also worth a look
