Visit MadeMedThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out MadeMed on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 62 (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.
MadeMed is still a genuine option — flat $239/mo semaglutide and $399/mo tirzepatide with L-Carnitine thrown in free at every dose, and one-click cancellation — but it only ships to 23 states, and California, Washington and most of the Northeast aren't among them. 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
MadeMed
Ranked #67 · Grade C
What we like
- Flat price at every dose for both molecules — no dose-upcharge surprise later
- One-click, self-serve cancellation, no phone call required
- Free L-Carnitine add-on at every dose, no upcharge
The caveats
- Only ships to 23 states — excludes California, Washington, Oregon, and most of the Northeast and Midwest, a real dealbreaker for a lot of readers
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum guidance
- Quarterly billing ($717 upfront) is the default plan shown, even though it's not the cheapest tier
