About CoreAge Rx
Shipping is free, 2-day, and reaches all 50 states. CoreAge Rx sells LegitScript-verified compounded semaglutide plus tirzepatide, with licensed physicians behind it and 24/7 support. Its own claim: nobody in the compounded GLP-1 space prices more competitively.

Nothing is charged for the consultation at NowPatient; the medication is the whole bill. Because the out-of-pocket cost tracks brand list prices, an uninsured patient faces roughly $1,000-$1,350/mo. Access is to brand-name GLP-1s for weight management: Saxenda is on the menu, so is Mounjaro, and Wegovy comes as an injection and as an oral tablet. The company spans the US and UK, HQ Austin, TX.

CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $149 a month, 44% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
NowPatient
What we like
- Tirzepatide at $1069 a month, within the normal band around this register's $1249 median for the same drug and form
- The monthly figure covers medication and consult
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
Our Verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it, 9.1 against 6.1, and it is especially strong on semaglutide at $99/month, 48% under the register median. NowPatient is no weak second and may fit you better on an oral route if you will not self-inject.
