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

Nova MD

Shoppers who can prepay three months, which brings either drug down to $129 to $149 a month.

Reasons to consider it

  • Month-to-month and three-month prices are both printed before any intake: semaglutide $175 or $129 a month, tirzepatide $199, or $149 to $129 a month on three months
  • One monthly price covers the online visit, the medication and free overnight shipping, with no membership fee
  • LegitScript verification badge links to a working LegitScript record

What to weigh up

  • No compounding pharmacy is named for semaglutide, and tirzepatide names only Drug Crafters as one of two pharmacy options
  • No state-coverage list is published on its site
  • The lower $129 and $149 monthly figures need a three-month plan billed $387 or $447 up front; month to month it is $175 for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Try Nova in September 2025. We still list and link to Nova MD; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
