Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
Remedy Meds vs Modern Age
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Remedy Meds
Shoppers who don't mind completing an intake quiz before seeing pricing, and who want a stated month-to-month cancel-anytime commitment.
Visit Remedy MedsModern Age
Cost-first shoppers who want nYC-based patients who want GLP-1 prescribing bundled into an in-person longevity/aesthetics practice.
Visit Modern AgeThe verdict
Remedy Meds takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 39 to 38. RemedyMeds offers compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, a microdose plan, and brand-name Ozempic/Zepbound options, with a stated month-to-month, cancel-anytime billing model and a 365-day money-back guarantee. Modern Age still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want nYC-based patients who want GLP-1 prescribing bundled into an in-person longevity/aesthetics practice.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Remedy Meds.

Remedy Meds
39/100Where the value is
- Explicitly month-to-month with no long-term commitment stated ('Cancel anytime')
- LegitScript badge displayed
- Both compounded and brand-name (Ozempic/Zepbound) options offered, including a microdose plan
The tradeoffs
- No pricing published anywhere on the public site -- all figures gated behind an intake quiz
- No medical director or named compounding pharmacy disclosed
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Remedy Meds in September 2025. We still list and link to Remedy Meds; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Modern Age
38/100Where the value is
- Prescribes real branded medications (Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro) rather than compounded alternatives
- In-person clinical oversight with blood draws and bone scans
- Transparent (if wide-ranging) pricing disclosure of the $900-1600/month medication cost
The tradeoffs
- Single physical location in NYC only -- not usable by the vast majority of a nationwide audience
- Significantly more expensive than compounded-GLP-1 telehealth competitors
