NuDay Rx
61/100Where the value is
- Named compounding pharmacy (Belmar Pharmacy) and named prescriber network (Beluga Health) — both independently verifiable
- LegitScript verification badge displayed on-site
- Both injectable and oral-tablet forms available for semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus a full brand-name menu on the same account
The tradeoffs
- Compounded semaglutide ($249) and tirzepatide ($329) are priced above several budget competitors in this comparison set
- Oral tirzepatide tablets ($399/mo) cost more than the injectable compound form ($329/mo) — a naive assumption that oral is cheaper or equivalent would be wrong here
Royal Medical Center
61/100Where the value is
- Claims an all-inclusive bundled price covering labs, medication, physical, and MD consultation with no itemized add-ons, per its own homepage
- Real physical clinic address (Deerfield Beach, FL) rather than a purely virtual operation
- Dispenses through Belmar Pharma Solutions, a recognizable compounding pharmacy network
The tradeoffs
- The $67/mo figure's dose tier could not be verified — every deeper pricing/program page returned HTTP 403
- The named physician, 'Dr. Rodriguez,' has no full name, license number, or NPI published on the homepage
