CoreAge Rx

Anyone who wants one flat monthly price they can plan a full year around, on either molecule, without signing a contract.

Reasons to consider it

  • One price at every dose: semaglutide is $99 from 0.25 mg up to 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide is $149 from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg
  • No membership fee, no insurance needed and no long-term contract, and the price you lock in at checkout stays put as your dose rises
  • If the doctor decides a prescription isn't right for you, CoreAge refunds the medication portion of your payment

What to weigh up

  • Some programs we track publish lower semaglutide prices. Compare billing terms, dose pricing and required fees before choosing.
  • You pay before the doctor reviews your case, and if you aren't approved the FAQ promises a 100% refund while the refund policy keeps a $50 to $100 consultation fee
  • All sales are final once medication ships, because state and federal law don't allow medication returns

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Better U Care

Shoppers in its 21 states who want a clinician to prescribe a brand-name GLP-1 to their own pharmacy, or a compounded plan with the visit included.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name prescriptions go to a pharmacy of your choice, so insurance can cover the drug
  • Compounded plans include the medication and the provider consultation in one monthly price
  • Publishes its list of 21 covered states rather than a vague 'most states' claim

What to weigh up

  • Available in 21 states, not nationwide, and a second list on the same page shows only 18
  • The $150 brand-name visit doesn't include the medication, and no drug price is published
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't shown on its weight-loss page; the prices appear only at its checkout

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
