Factor by factor

CoreAge Rx
The honest lowest price: both molecules at one flat, all-in monthly rate that never steps up after month one.
Why it's a deal
- 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 — no lock-in
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of teaser tiers advertise lower month-one rates
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
DrMedHealth
DrMedHealth is a LegitScript-certified US telehealth platform for GLP-1 medical weight loss.
Why it's a deal

The fine print

- Full list of available states not consolidated in one place
- Site is JavaScript-rendered, limiting easy review of full terms
