CoreAge Rx vs FMmeds
Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, and no score is adjusted for payment.
vs
Verdict64/ 100
Grade C · #252FMmeds
Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide with B12, priced flat at every dose, but the advertised rate is the twelve-month prepay figure, not month-to-month.

Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 64/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. FMmeds still earns its place — people who have already decided to prepay a year of compounded GLP-1 and want a flat price that does not rise as the dose goes up.

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
FMmeds
What we like
- Terms state the service is available in all fifty states plus the District of Columbia
- Names its operating entity (Med Excellence United LLC) and its dispensing pharmacy (Manifest Pharmacy)
- Price is flat at every dose: the FAQ states the cost does not rise when the dosage increases
- The initial visit is free and you are only billed if a prescription is approved; free shipping included
- Phone and email support are both published: (888) 996-8639 and support@fmmeds.com
The caveats
- Compounded only, and compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved; no Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro
- The only price the site publishes is 'starts with $95.00/mo... and $145.00/mo' — those are the twelve-month prepay rates; the real month-to-month price is $225 and $265
- Prepaying twelve months costs $1,140 (semaglutide) or $1,740 (tirzepatide) up front, non-refundable once shipped
- The prescribing clinical group is not named — only 'a physician licensed in your state'
- Shipped prescriptions cannot be returned and approved refunds take 7-10 business days
