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

DoctorAdam

What we like

  • Offers both injection and oral tablet forms of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
  • Flat all-in pricing — physician evaluation, medication, and free shipping included
  • Named pharmacy partners: Olympia Pharmaceuticals (Orlando, FL) and Carie Boyd Pharmaceuticals (Irving, TX)
  • LegitScript certified with 4.8/5 Trustpilot score from 5,400+ reviews and 100K+ patients
  • No hidden fees, no required recurring commitment, full refund if not prescribed

The caveats

  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved individual drugs
  • No labs or dedicated coaching disclosed on public pages
  • Only 44 states served — AK, MA, MS, NJ, RI, and VT excluded despite homepage '50 states' claim
  • Dose-tier pricing not published; only starting prices visible without quiz
  • Shopify-based store rather than a dedicated health platform
