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.

MDLive

Reasons to consider it

  • Medication can be sent to your preferred pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • GLP-1s require a Primary Care Routine Care visit; urgent care and wellness screenings do not qualify
  • Medication-specific cash prices are not published
  • GLP-1 prescribing is unavailable in certain states; confirm current eligibility
