Visit Rixa HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Rixa Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 52 (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.
Rixa Health is still a genuine option — nobody else on this page publishes a ladder like this — every level, every dose, every price. Semaglutide climbs $195, $225, $265, $290, $310. But two of those five levels cover five weeks instead of four, which quietly makes level three cheaper per week than level two even though the dose is higher. And the sentence directly above the table promises that the prices cover four weeks. 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
Rixa Health
Editors' Rating 52/100 · Grade C
What we like
- A complete dose-by-dose ladder with milligrams attached — five semaglutide levels, six for tirzepatide
- The price is stated to include medication, shipping and any provider contact between refills
- No contracts or long-term commitments, and HSA and FSA cards accepted
The caveats
- The billing period changes mid-ladder — levels three and four cover five weeks — so cost per week is not monotonic
- The line introducing the table says the prices cover four weeks, contradicting two of its own rows
- Tirzepatide nearly doubles as the dose climbs, $280 to $525 per four weeks
