Visit 24hrDocThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out 24hrDoc on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 24 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
24hrDoc is still a genuine option — two things set 24hrDoc apart from almost everything else on this list, and neither is good news. Its weight-loss page now lists semaglutide injections at $299 and oral semaglutide at $309, with "6 months subscription is recommended" beside each — but it never says whether that is per month, and it never says what the price buys. Its own footnotes say "24hrdoc is not a pharmacy. We do not carry or ship medicines" and "our consultation fee does not include the cost of your medication", while an answer further down the same page calls the visit one "which includes your weight loss medication". Tirzepatide is named but not priced. Get the full monthly cost in writing before you pay. And in February 2026 the FDA issued it a warning letter over false or misleading claims about the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide advertised on this very website. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What the price covers
CoreAge Rx's price includes the clinician consult, the medication and shipping. 24hrDoc's price includes the clinician consult, and the medication is billed or arranged separately. So the sticker prices cover different things: the medication and shipping at CoreAge Rx but not, or not stated, at 24hrDoc. Add the missing pieces before you compare totals.
Where they serve and how signup works
Where they serve: CoreAge Rx, all 50 states; 24hrDoc, "Most U.S. states", per its FAQ — no list published. If you live outside 24hrDoc's area, CoreAge Rx is the one of the two that can treat you.
CoreAge Rx shows its price before the health questions; for 24hrDoc, use the price above and confirm it at checkout. CoreAge Rx starts with an online questionnaire, no live video visit. 24hrDoc has received an FDA warning letter of its own and CoreAge Rx has none on file; our 24hrDoc review explains what it covered.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
24hrDoc
Editors' Rating 24/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Says plainly that it is not a pharmacy instead of blurring the line
- Sends the prescription to a pharmacy you choose, often within hours by its own account
- Offers oral semaglutide as well as injections
The caveats
- It carries an FDA warning letter from February 2026 over false or misleading claims about the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on its own website
- The $299 and $309 semaglutide prices carry no billing period, and the site contradicts itself on whether they include the medication
- Tirzepatide is named but never priced
