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.
Read our full CoreAge Rx review →About Sesame Care
A subscription running $39-$99/month pays for the clinical care and nothing else; drugs are charged separately at cash rates, which includes Zepbound from $299 through LillyDirect and a Wegovy self-pay promotion at $199/month. Nothing in the weight-loss line is compounded, only branded. Rather than working off a stocked formulary the way most weight-loss platforms do, Sesame prices transparently and puts patients in touch with independent provider practices.

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
Sesame Care
What we like
- Semaglutide at $149 a month, within the normal band around this register's $199 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- 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
- Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition
Watch-outs
- 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
- Its orforglipron and semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it, 9.1 against 6.7, and it is especially strong on semaglutide at $99/month, 48% under the register median. Sesame Care is no weak second and may fit you better on oral orforglipron alongside the injectables.
