CoreAge Rx vs MadeMed

Visit MadeMedThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out MadeMed on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 46 (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.
MadeMed is still a genuine option — a flat $239/mo semaglutide, $399/mo tirzepatide with one-click cancellation and a free L-Carnitine add-on at every dose — but it's only licensed in 23 states, and most of the country's biggest population centers aren't on the list. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

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
MadeMed
Ranked #69 · Grade C
What we like
- One flat price at every dose for each molecule — no step-up as you titrate
- One-click self-serve cancellation, no phone call or chat queue
- Free overnight shipping, injection supplies, and an L-Carnitine add-on bundled in at no extra cost
The caveats
- Licensed in only 23 states — California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Minnesota are all excluded, a real barrier for most of the country's population
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, or PCOS
- The specific 503A compounding pharmacy behind the 'Made in US pharmacy' claim isn't named
