Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced in front of her before she starts, and who will decide deliberately whether a year paid up front is worth $50 a month.
Visit Andrew MedsThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Andrew Meds on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 44 (A− vs C). Mothers who want a fixed monthly price, a real clinician rather than an intake quiz, and uninterrupted nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide while they work out the timing around pregnancy or weaning.
Andrew Meds is still a genuine option — the whole price ladder is on the page before you enter anything, which almost nothing else here does: compounded semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, and tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans as what they are. Each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is better than average in the places that matter: Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that actually writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X, with its own address in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and the District of Columbia, listed out rather than claimed as a number. It also sells an oral tirzepatide. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, which is never named, and the refund policy, which returns nothing on a period you have partly used.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A−
What we like
- A single flat monthly rate — no teaser first month that jumps at the first refill
- A prescriber reviews your history and will actually talk through timing if you're postpartum, nursing, or planning another pregnancy
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one chart, so switching molecules doesn't mean switching providers
The caveats
- Not the lowest sticker price — a couple of budget compounders come in under it
- Compounded only; there's no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound lane here
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB or hormone practice
Metabolic-Fit / 100
Andrew Meds
Ranked #148 · Grade C
What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules is published before any intake
- Names the separate medical practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone number
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted as a count
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge, not a lower monthly bill — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the terms say only "contracted pharmacies"
- No refunds for partially used subscription periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
