Visit altRxThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out altRx on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 56 (B vs C). Someone considering both compounded injection options who wants an advertised flat price without a required subscription and will confirm the exact prescription, state access and refund terms.
altRx is still a genuine option — one of the lowest listed prices for compounded GLP-1s — $89 a month for semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide, the same at every dose, with the visit, supplies and shipping included — from a company that received an FDA warning letter in June 2026 and treats every payment as final. Cancellation needs 72 hours' notice, and a documented trinitymeds trademark connection deserves attention. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Metabolic-Fit 86/100 · Grade B
What we like
- Officially linked public offer advertises $79/month semaglutide and $129/month tirzepatide across doses
- Advertises care and free overnight cold shipping within those prices, with no membership fee
- Public offer describes one-time purchases, no required subscription and the same refill price
The caveats
- Main navigation still shows semaglutide from $99, conflicting with the $79 officially linked offer
- A patient-specific prescription quantity and checkout total were not verified; confirm before paying
- State eligibility depends on therapy; nationwide access should not be assumed

- Cancellation needs 72 hours' notice before the billing date
