Visit Andrew MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Andrew Meds on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 73 (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.
Andrew Meds is still a genuine option — hardly anyone shows you the whole ladder before the intake, and this one does: semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, with tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans for what they are, though — each is a single charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the $149 semaglutide everyone quotes means paying a full year before the first box ships. Where it counts, the disclosure is better than most: 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 DC, listed rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. What is missing is the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used. 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
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- 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
Andrew Meds
Ranked #40 · Grade C
What we like
- The whole price ladder for both molecules, published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone
- All fifty states and DC listed out rather than claimed as a number
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named
- No refunds for partially used periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
