MDLive, answered
Is MDLive legit?
MDLive is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program, but we don't find it on the LegitScript registry, so it carries less third-party verification than the certified providers on our board. It dispenses compounded medication, which isn't FDA-approved. Vet the prescriber and pharmacy before you commit.
How much does MDLive cost?
MDLive doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.
Does MDLive ship to my state?
MDLive operates in a limited set of states (Coverage not published). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
MDLive vs CoreAge Rx — which is better?
Both are on our board. MDLive scores 56/100; CoreAge Rx leads our default ranking at 91/100 for its flat nationwide pricing on both molecules and easy cancellation. MDLive can still win for you if its strengths match your priorities — best for: People who want insured or employer-covered patients wanting GLP-1s within full primary care. Run the quiz to see which comes out ahead for you.
