MEDGm

#53 of 53

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+HSA/FSA accepted; free shipping stated

Cons

−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
−Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
−No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels, price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews, strong social proof
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect
+Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.

Our Verdict

PeterMD edges out MEDGm with a score of 7.3/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDGm is from $179/mo; PeterMD is $209 first month, rises after. MEDGm offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both MEDGm and PeterMD start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
