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
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
