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

Prescriva

What we like

  • Names its medical group, OpenLoop Health, and all three dispensing pharmacies with addresses in its terms
  • Injection plan prices are listed on the site before you start the assessment
  • The price covers the clinician visit, the medication and free priority shipping, with no separate membership fee
  • Offers semaglutide as a weekly injection or a daily dissolving tablet, plus tirzepatide injections
  • You get a full refund of the current charge if the clinician decides treatment is not right for you
  • You can cancel or pause from your patient dashboard, with no cancellation fee
  • Publishes a support phone number, and HSA or FSA cards are accepted

Watch-outs

  • Plans are charged every 4 weeks, so a year brings 13 charges rather than 12, though the site says per month
  • The $194 semaglutide figure is a 48-week supply paid upfront at $2,327 and divided by 12, not a monthly price
  • The pricing page also shows a $109 starting price and a $289 semaglutide price that match no plan in checkout
  • You pay at checkout before a clinician reviews your answers
  • Refunds stop once a clinician consultation is completed or medication ships, and partial cycles are not refunded
  • The intake requires you to agree to text messages before you can continue
  • The intake shows an "Excellent 4.9" rating with no source, while the company's review profile has no reviews yet
  • The terms say service is offered in all 50 states, but the FAQ says most states
