Visit MD ExamThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out MD Exam on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 41 (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.
MD Exam is still a genuine option — mD Exam advertises its medication-inclusive program from $225 a month, with telemedicine and nutrition and exercise coaching. The FAQ also lists a $50 consultation fee, refundable if not approved. Confirm whether that fee is credited and whether labs or shipping add to your selected plan. 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
MD Exam
Ranked #320 · Grade C
What we like

- Nutrition and exercise coaching are included
The caveats
- The $225 monthly figure is a starting price
- A separate $50 consultation fee is published; whether it is credited is unclear
