Checkout: '$79/mo flat forever' (strikethrough $299); bundles $76/$73/$69 per month on 3/6/12-mo. CAVEAT: T&C list price is $199/mo — the $79 depends on the auto-applied SUMMER promo marketed as permanently locked; Trustpilot complaints allege the lock was not always honored.

Pros & Cons

CoreAge Rx

What we like

  • LegitScript certified — rigorous pharmacy standards
  • Free 2-day shipping nationwide
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
  • Lowest per-month pricing in the compounded segment
  • 24/7 support team
  • All 50 states covered

Watch-outs

  • Compounded only — no brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
  • Newer brand with fewer independent reviews than legacy players

Embody

What we like

  • Among the lowest flat rates in the compounded segment — $79/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide injection at every dose
  • Unique compounded oral tirzepatide gum formulation — alternative for patients who prefer not to inject
  • Available in all 50 states with no insurance friction
  • 24/7 unlimited clinician messaging and dose-adjustment support included
  • Medical leadership by Dr. Alan Viglione, board-certified in Internal Medicine

Watch-outs

  • The $79 flat rate relies on an auto-applied promo 'locked forever' — list price in the terms is $199/mo and reviewers allege the lock isn't honored
  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro option
  • Pharmacy partners not publicly named — compounding source transparency is limited
  • Compounded oral tirzepatide does not have an FDA-approved counterpart, and oral GLP-1 bioavailability remains an active area of clinical debate
