PauseRX vs Silhouette MD
The verdict
Silhouette MD takes it — 69.4/100 to 68.5/100, but only just.
Silhouette MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Concierge-style GLP-1 telehealth offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injectable and oral forms, with provider oversight and full-service support included on every plan. PauseRX is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #150 · C
Strengths
- Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, Gilbert AZ) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
- Names its physician network (Beluga Health) — you can research the clinical platform handling your prescriptions
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Corporate legal entity disclosed (PauseRX, Inc.) — uncommon for direct-to-consumer GLP-1 platforms
- Flat $199 'all doses' compounded semaglutide pricing — no per-tier escalation
Where it loses points
- States served not listed — site claims nationwide, but you must contact support to confirm availability
- Restrictive cancellation policy — orders can't be changed or canceled once submitted, and medications can't be returned
- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- Insurance not accepted — cash-pay only; HSA/FSA eligibility not confirmed

Where it loses points
