Visit Obu HealthThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Obu Health on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 38 (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.
Obu Health is still a genuine option — starting From $190/mo semaglutide and $239/mo tirzepatide, with two named compounding pharmacies and a genuine self-serve cancel-anytime policy — but no published state list and nothing addressing pregnancy or breastfeeding. 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
Obu Health
Ranked #102 · Grade C
What we like
- Names two real compounding pharmacies with full addresses — and lets you redirect to your own local pharmacy instead
- Self-serve 'cancel at any time' subscription policy, published on its own Returns & Refunds page
- Doctor review in about 24 hours per its FAQ, with video/phone required only in certain states
The caveats
- No published state list — 'United States only' with unspecified, therapy-dependent restrictions
- Nothing on the site mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum timing, or PCOS
- "Starting From" pricing means your actual dose may cost more than the headline figure
