Visit altRxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out altRx on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 60 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
altRx is still a genuine option — its operator, Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC dba altRx, received FDA warning letter MARCS-CMS 728236 in June 2026 over claims about its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide AltRx advertises a generic $89 starting figure and no membership fee. The current compounded tirzepatide plan and renewal charges need confirmation. Its terms and refund policy disagree on 48- versus 72-hour cancellation notice. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Advertised $79 semaglutide and $129 tirzepatide monthly prices stay the same at every listed dose
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
altRx
Ranked #156 · Grade C
What we like
- Names its operating company, its medical group and its four pharmacies
- The visit can be a written review rather than a live video call, depending on your state
- Phone and email support published on every page
The caveats
- Its operator, Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC dba altRx, received FDA warning letter MARCS-CMS 728236 in June 2026 over claims about its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
- The homepage promises pounds of fat lost every week and says it will fix your metabolism
- The same company runs Lean Meds, Trinity Meds and NextMeds, so these are not independent options
