The verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 81 to 80 — an est. From $79/mo (compounded semaglutide; confirm total at checkout) first month, though we flag its pricing to watch. Pepti isn't out of it: Shoppers who want a low all-in price with a named pharmacy and named physicians behind it, and who will count thirteen charges a year rather than twelve.

CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and tirzepatide from $129 per month, with dose-flat pricing stated in its FAQ. Confirm the total and refund terms before paying.
What's good
- CoreAge Rx publishes separate product prices for both molecules: semaglutide from $79 per month and tirzepatide from $129. That gives you two actual medication offers to compare rather than one generic GLP-1 starting figure.
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ says the price locked in at checkout stays the same in future months regardless of dose increases. I would save that confirmation with the order, because a low starting price matters much more when the prescribed maintenance dose costs the same.
- The product pages state that there are no long-term contracts or membership fees and advertise fast, free delivery. Compare those inclusions with the checkout total; the refund policy separately allows applicable consultation fees and shipping charges if disclosed there.
- CoreAge Rx uses the MD Integrations professional entities for medical care and prescribing. Its FAQ names physicians assigned in California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont, giving patients in those states a concrete medical contact to verify.
- CoreAge Rx offers account-based reordering and cancellation, and its help center says optional subscriptions can be managed in the member portal. Check whether your selected purchase is a one-time order or an automatically renewed subscription so the next charge is predictable.
- CoreAge Rx also advertises microdosing products at $79 for semaglutide and $129 for tirzepatide. These are separate lower-dose offers, not a reason to select your own dose or evidence that they work like the doses studied for approved products.
The fine print
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ promises an automatic 100% refund if the clinician declines your prescription, but its refund policy says applicable consultation fees of $50–$100 are nonrefundable. Ask which policy applies to the exact order and how much would be returned before you pay.
- CoreAge Rx's refund policy makes a medication order final once the prescription is approved and sent to the pharmacy, which can happen before shipping. Waiting until the parcel is dispatched may be too late to cancel an order or recover the medication charge. The policy also imposes a 30-day nonrefundable cutoff even when incomplete documentation has prevented fulfillment.
- CoreAge Rx does not publish a complete GLP-1 state list. Its FAQ says therapy-specific state restrictions are confirmed during intake, so a U.S. address alone does not establish that your selected medication is available where you live.
- CoreAge Rx does not name the dispensing pharmacy in its FAQ; it asks patients to contact support. Obtain the pharmacy's legal name, license and contact information before choosing a compounded prescription. The platform's branding does not identify who prepares your medication.
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ says there are no automatic rebills, while its refund policy and help center describe optional automatic renewals. I would confirm the selected purchase option and next charge date rather than treat the general FAQ answer as a guarantee for every order.
- CoreAge Rx offers compounded medication, which is not FDA-approved. Its FAQ says tirzepatide is typically formulated with B12 and that requests without it go to the prescriber. Ask why the exact formulation is appropriate for you; an added vitamin does not itself establish a lawful patient-specific difference.
Pepti
Compounded semaglutide at $109 and tirzepatide at $179 with the consultation and shipping inside the figure — billed every twenty-eight days, which is thirteen charges a year, on a site whose own cost pages still print two older prices.
What's good
- The figures are low and genuinely all-in: $109 for compounded semaglutide and $179 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping inside the price rather than added later
- The prices appear on three separate transactable surfaces, which is what makes them checkable rather than a marketing claim on one page
- Coverage is published as a real list — all fifty states and the District of Columbia — rather than as an unqualified nationwide claim
- Two prescribing physicians are named with their specialties, their medical school and their board certifications, and a dispensing partner is named
- The billing terms explain the cycle honestly rather than hiding it: the charge falls on the cycle the supply lasts, measured in days rather than calendar months, and can bill twice in one calendar month
- Cancellation is from the account at any time and stops all future charges, with the one real limit stated: a supply already shipped is not refunded
The fine print
- The cycle is twenty-eight days, so a year is thirteen charges — about $1,417 for semaglutide rather than $1,308, and $2,327 for tirzepatide rather than $2,148 — while the product pages call the figure an all-in monthly price
- The site's own cost pages still print $79 and $149 for the two molecules, on the same pages that describe the price as flat and transparent at $109. Two surfaces disagree with the three that transact
- Labs are conditional rather than included: baseline panels come free only if a doctor requires them, with a deeper panel at $149 and a monthly plan at $129 beside it
- Payment is taken before a physician reviews the intake, and the refund is the remedy; the marketing says only that it is free to start with no enrollment fee
- A money-back badge on the product pages has no matching clause anywhere in the refund policy
- The pharmacy is named but not identified: one partner name with no legal entity, no state and no address, on a page that also says the fulfilling pharmacy varies per patient and that partners may change
- A clearance badge in the homepage trust cluster sits on a site whose product pages correctly say compounded medications are not approved by the FDA, and the badge is never explained
- The corporate address is a shared registered-agent suite rather than a clinical office, and neither named physician publishes an identifier that can be checked against a federal registry
