LifeRx.md still earns its place — budget patients wanting flat, dose-independent compounded GLP-1 pricing nationwide.

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

LifeRx.md

What we like

  • Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
  • LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
  • Available in all 50 states
  • HSA and FSA payments accepted
  • Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight

The caveats

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
  • Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
  • True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
  • Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
