What we checked — August 2026: CoreAge Rx's own plan pages, pricing, FAQ and policy pages, all read on the same visit.
What you're buying
CoreAge Rx sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, plus microdose versions of both, alongside NAD+, sermorelin and a shelf of supplements. The operating company is DSO Fine Shrimp LLC, doing business as CoreAge Rx, and it is LegitScript-certified. The medical side is separate: clinical evaluations and prescriptions come from MD Integrations and its affiliated medical groups, and CoreAge is careful to say it does not employ the doctors.
There is no brand-name medication and no oral GLP-1. The FAQ confirms the tirzepatide is typically compounded with B12, and says you can ask for a formulation without it during the intake. The dispensing pharmacies are not named on the site; the FAQ says to call or email to learn which pharmacy will handle your prescription, and you cannot route the prescription to your own local pharmacy.
What it costs (and how it's billed)
The advertised numbers are $99 a month for semaglutide and $149 a month for tirzepatide, and both are the same at every dose. That last part is real, and it is the best thing about CoreAge: the lander's whole argument is that other programs start you low and double the bill when the dose goes up, while here the price is locked. When we read the product pages in August 2026, they said "Starting at $99 per month" and "Starting at $149 per month."
Here is what those pages do not say and the lander does, in a footnote near the bottom: "Prices shown are starting at, based on a 12-month plan paid in full." So $99 a month is a 12-month plan billed as one charge of $1,188, and $149 a month is $1,788 paid in full. No month-to-month price is published anywhere on the site. That is a very different purchase from "$99 a month," and it is the single fact we would want every reader to have before clicking through.
The billing details are scattered and do not fully agree. The FAQ says there are no auto-rebills and that you are billed when the medication ships; the refund policy describes subscription plans with automatic renewals; the product page says "no long-term contracts" beside a price that assumes a year. What the refund policy does make clear is the cutoff: once a provider approves the prescription and it goes to the pharmacy, the sale is final, and every order becomes non-refundable 30 calendar days after purchase regardless of whether it has shipped. Between $50 and $100 in provider consultation fees is non-refundable even if you are turned down, although the FAQ separately promises a full refund if the provider does not approve you.
Who can order
CoreAge serves the United States only, and says some therapies carry state restrictions that are disclosed during the intake rather than on a list. The FAQ names specific assigned physicians for California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont, which tells you those states are covered but handled differently. Some states require a video or live-chat consultation, and a doctor reaches out to do it. You must be 18 or older and upload a photo ID and a selfie. Insurance is not accepted.
How the intake works
You take the online questionnaire, which the lander says takes about three minutes, and you pay up front; the FAQ explains that payment locks your price and places you in the pharmacy queue. A doctor reviews the case within about 24 hours. If approved, the prescription goes to a partner pharmacy, and the refund policy estimates five to seven business days from order to completion when your documents are in on time, then two to three business days in transit. Shipping is free and no signature is required.
Support is by phone and email, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern, plus a ticket form. The FAQ says you are contacted before each refill is billed and shipped.
What we'd want changed
State the term next to the price. "$99 per month" on the product page with the 12-month condition living in a lander footnote is the kind of pricing this whole category is criticized for, and it undercuts the flat-at-every-dose promise, which is genuinely good. A month-to-month price, even a higher one, would let a first-time patient try the medication without committing $1,188 or $1,788 to a molecule they have never taken.
The refund and billing pages need to be reconciled with the FAQ. "No auto-rebills" and "subscription plans with automatic renewals" cannot both be true, and "100% refund if not approved" sits uneasily beside a non-refundable $50 to $100 consultation fee.
Bottom line
CoreAge Rx is the cheapest flat-rate GLP-1 program we cover if, and only if, you can prepay a year: $1,188 for semaglutide or $1,788 for tirzepatide, working out to $99 and $149 a month at every dose. For a patient who has already been on the medication and knows they tolerate it, that is a strong deal. For a first-timer, the absence of any month-to-month price and the 30-day refund cutoff make it a large bet on a drug you have not tried.
Best for an experienced GLP-1 patient who can pay a year in full and wants the lowest flat per-dose price. First-timers should start month-to-month somewhere else and come back once they know their dose.

Checks out as far as the figures go, with one caveat: every price CoreAge Rx publishes carries a condition, so the number on the site is not the monthly bill.
What does CoreAge Rx cost?
Each figure exactly as CoreAge Rx publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$99/mo only as a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,188 in one charge); the lander says "starting at, based on a 12-month plan paid in full"; no month-to-month price is published; same price at every dose; compounded injectable
That is a prepay rate: $99 a month applies only if the whole term is paid up front, so the charge on your card is larger than the monthly number.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$149/mo only as a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,788 in one charge); no month-to-month price is published; same price at every dose; compounded injectable
That is a prepay rate: $149 a month applies only if the whole term is paid up front, so the charge on your card is larger than the monthly number.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for tirzepatide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
