CoreAge Rx

What we like

  • Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
  • Available in all 50 states
  • Straightforward, low-friction cancellation

The caveats

  • Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
  • No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
  • Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner

Care Clinics

What we like

  • Corporate entity disclosed as Care Clinics PLLC — uncommon transparency
  • LegitScript Certified
  • Named 503A pharmacy partner (Partell Pharmacy)
  • 32-state coverage explicitly listed in the FAQ — not vague 'most states' language
  • Multi-duration programs (4-week, 7-week, 3-month, extended) to match your commitment

The caveats

  • LegitScript ID number not shown — only the certified claim
  • Named medical director not disclosed
  • FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not prominent on the homepage
  • Footer reads 'Clinic Care' vs. the registered 'Care Clinics PLLC' — naming inconsistency
  • Extended-program pricing ($499–$899) makes for a complex multi-tier matrix
