Visit CurexThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Curex on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 53 (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.
Curex is still a genuine option — curex is best known as an online allergy clinic, and its GLP-1 program sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by weekly injection or as a daily dissolving tablet, from $199 a month with no membership fee. First months are cheaper, from $49 for semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide, but Curex does not publish the monthly price after that at a given dose. Read the fine print before trusting the ads. Curex carries a September 2025 FDA warning letter over claims that its compounded medications had the same active ingredients as Ozempic and Mounjaro. Its ads promise a full refund if you are not prescribed and a year-long money-back guarantee, while its terms describe a consultation fee of up to $100 that is non-refundable and a 16-week warranty that pays only if you lose no weight at all. It serves all 50 states, with tablets only in California. 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
Curex
Editors' Rating 53/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Both medications offered as a daily dissolving tablet as well as a weekly injection
- No membership fee; medication and shipping included in the monthly price
- Video or text-based visits, with unlimited messaging after you start
The caveats
- FDA warning letter #716821, dated September 9, 2025, to Curex, over claims that its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide had the same active ingredients as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound
- Only a $199 floor is published; the monthly price after the first month at your dose is not shown
- The terms make a completed consultation a non-refundable fee of up to $100, despite ads promising a full refund if not prescribed
