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
DrBrainRx
What we like
- Founded and overseen by Dr. Sara Siavoshi — triple board-certified in Neurology, Headache Medicine, and Obesity Medicine
- LegitScript certified with compounded medications from USP-certified 503B pharmacies
- Flat-rate pricing — same monthly cost for all dose levels (dose escalation does not raise price)
- 100% online with rapid approvals (~24-48 hours) and discreet shipping in 3–5 business days
- Side-effect support, dose adjustments, and injection guides included with provider care
The caveats
- Separate $25/month provider care fee (compounded track) on top of medication cost
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved individual drugs
- Labs not required or included — no baseline bloodwork protocol disclosed
- States served not published; no explicit list available
- No dedicated coaching program beyond clinical dose management
