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

DrMedHealth

What we like

  • LegitScript certified telehealth platform
  • Low compounded pricing: semaglutide from $199/mo, tirzepatide from $299/mo
  • Both compounded and FDA-approved branded options available
  • Fast physician review (advertised ~2 hours) with free shipping
  • Compounded by licensed US pharmacies

The caveats

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
  • Cash-pay model; insurance generally not accepted for medication
  • Full list of available states not consolidated in one place
  • Site is JavaScript-rendered, limiting easy review of full terms
