Visit altRxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out altRx on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 61 (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.
altRx is still a genuine option — altRx lists compounded semaglutide at $89 a month and tirzepatide at $149, with a no-price-hike promise on its product pages. Brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound are priced separately. The earlier October 5 deadline passed without these product prices increasing. Its operator also runs Trinity Meds and LevelsRx; the FDA warning letter is addressed to altRx itself. The semaglutide results section still contains an unfinished drafting instruction. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

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
altRx
Editors' Rating 61/100 · Grade C
What we like
- $89 for semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide, flat at every dose
- Upfront plans bring semaglutide down to $75 a month and tirzepatide to $125
- Brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound with prices on the page
The caveats
- Sale banners have carried deadlines even while the same product prices continued afterward; confirm your recurring charge before paying
- Run by Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC, which also runs Trinity Meds and LevelsRx — one company, not independent options
- FDA warning letter dated June 8, 2026, to Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC dba altRx, for vial labels implying altRx compounds the medication and for false or misleading claims
