NativeMed

Graded #184 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified (verifiable in the footer)
  • Promotional pricing shown publicly: $149/mo semaglutide, $183/mo tirzepatide
  • Online questionnaire intake, with a live visit added when state law requires it

Where it loses points

  • Pharmacy partners aren't named — described only as 'USA-based' or 'accredited' pharmacies
  • States served aren't listed publicly
  • Prices are promotional — confirm whether they hold past month one or rise to the $299/$399 regular rate
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
