CoreAge Rx
What we like

- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats

- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Garcia Weight Loss
What we like
- Established since 2000 with 4 Tampa Bay locations and 50,000+ patients treated
- GLP-1 program includes full metabolic and hormone lab panel
- Medication and supplies shipped directly to your door from partner pharmacy
- Free 15-minute consultation; both weekly-visit (Premier) and monthly-visit (Standard) tiers
- LegitScript transparency certification listed in footer
The caveats
- Florida only — 4 locations in Tampa Bay metro area only
- Pricing not publicly listed on website ($400/month per Facebook ad)
- Specific GLP-1 drug (semaglutide vs tirzepatide) not disclosed on site
- Telemedicine availability not confirmed on site despite Facebook ad claims
- In-person visit model less convenient than fully online telehealth providers
