Visit MEDViThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out MEDVi on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 57 (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.
MEDVi is still a genuine option — mEDVi's compounded semaglutide costs $179 for the first month and $299 for every month after, with the physician review, plan and medication in one charge, plus free dietitian visits where insurance allows. Read the fine print around it: brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound each require a $99 membership plus a medication price it never shows, right under a banner promising no membership fees; the list of states it serves is available only by asking customer service; and it holds an FDA warning letter from February 2026. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What CoreAge Rx and MEDVi cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose; MEDVi charges $299 a month at every dose. CoreAge Rx is $200 a month cheaper at every dose, about $2,400 over a year.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. MEDVi offers tirzepatide but doesn't publish a month-to-month price for it, so ask for the total before you compare it with CoreAge Rx.
MEDVi advertises $179 for the first month of semaglutide, then $299 from month two; we compare the $299 with CoreAge Rx, because that is what you keep paying.
Only MEDVi offers brand-name medication; CoreAge Rx sticks to compounded versions.

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
MEDVi
Editors' Rating 57/100 · Grade C
What we like
- An all-in monthly price for compounded semaglutide that does not rise with the dose
- Dietitian visits and care coaching, plus 24/7 support
- Brand-name Wegovy, the Wegovy pill and Zepbound available
The caveats
- The $179 headline is the first month only; every refill after is $299
- Brand-name medication needs a $99 membership plus a medication price it does not show, under a banner promising no membership fees
- The list of states it serves is available only from customer service
