Established platform with multi-month discounts. What is actually dispensed, how the prescription works, and what the price really is — $348 a month.

Disclosure: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission when a reader signs up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher ranking, or the removal of any criticism. The scoring rubric and the full disclosure are both published.


An established telehealth platform with genuine multi-month discounts, and a $49 monthly membership charged on top of every medication tier.

Month-to-month is $299 medication plus $49 membership. A six-month commitment brings the medication to $229, so about $278 all in. The advertised "from $129" is a programme floor describing neither.

What is actually supplied

Compounded tirzepatide, with a separate $199 microdose tier. Those are different products at different doses, and the schedules do not map across — establish which one you are being prescribed.

How the prescription works

Conventional intake and escalation on a platform with a longer operating history than most of this field, which is worth something when smaller sellers are appearing and disappearing.

Long-running telehealth platform offering compounded GLP-1s on monthly and multi-month plans, with a separate monthly membership.

Reading the price

Between roughly $3,336 and $4,176 a year depending on commitment length.

Month-to-month medication is $299 plus the $49 membership. Committing to six months brings the medication to $229, so about $278 all in.

What we verified

  • GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
  • Membership is $49/month after the first month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
  • A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
  • Medication is billed separately from the membership.

Checked 2026-09-18. Pricing here changes frequently; treat anything older than a month as a starting point rather than a quote.

Strengths

  • Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • An established platform with a long operating history in telehealth.
  • Microdose tier available for people who want a gentler option.

Drawbacks

  • The $49 monthly membership is charged on top of every medication tier.
  • The advertised "from $129" does not describe the injection price.

Important. Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.
