DrMedHealth
66/100Where the value is
- Flat pricing regardless of dose -- no hidden dose-escalation cost
- Both injectable and oral forms offered for each drug
- LegitScript certified with nationwide (50 states + DC) coverage
The tradeoffs
- No single named medical director, just a list of prescribing providers
- Site is a JS-heavy SPA that renders nothing to basic fetchers, complicating independent verification
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Public Health Solution LLC dba DrMedHealth in June 2026. We still list and link to DrMedHealth; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Corsica Health
66/100Where the value is
- Publishes real starting dollar prices for THREE tiers on one page — compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and brand-name Ozempic/Wegovy — a genuine transparency advantage few competitors offer at once
- Compounded semaglutide's starting price fell from $199/mo to $149/mo since a prior 2026-07-20 check — a real, verifiable decrease
- Free shipping and provider consultation included in the listed starting price
The tradeoffs
- Listed prices are floor figures for the lowest dose tier only — no published ladder for what higher, titrated doses cost
- The '15-20% average weight change' and '4.8/5 satisfaction' figures are the company's own self-reported claims, not independently sourced
