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

InstaRX

What we like

  • Available in all 50 states plus DC
  • Manage GLP-1, anti-aging peptides, and sexual-health medications on one account
  • Offers both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide
  • Independent provider group (Dr Telx) named in the Terms of Service

Watch-outs

  • No per-dose or monthly pricing published — only a "$199 to get started" hook; you can't compare costs before intake
  • No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP accreditation shown on public pages
  • Compounding pharmacy not named — only "U.S. pharmacies"
  • Terms of Service reads like generic boilerplate, including copy-paste language about women's health issues — suggests low template hygiene
  • Delaware governing law for disputes despite a California corporate address
  • Corporate address is a strip-mall suite — suggests a pure-virtual operation
