$199/mo against $399/mo for tirzepatide. Which is worth it, and for whom.
Updated 2026-09-18
How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.
Both sell tirzepatide. Coreage Rx costs $199 a month and MEDVi costs $399, a difference of $200 a month or about $2,400 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.
Coreage Rx is best overall on true monthly cost. MEDVi is tablet and injection choice. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.
What this means for your titration. Coreage Rx holds one price at every dose and MEDVi does not — so this gap widens as you titrate toward a therapeutic dose, exactly when you can least afford a surprise.

What each programme publishes: Coreage Rx
- Compounded tirzepatide advertised from $149/month on the annual plan, $199/month otherwise.
- Compounded semaglutide advertised from $99/month on the annual plan.
- A three-month tirzepatide block has been offered at $589 covering any dose up to 15 mg per week.

Which suits you
- Pick Coreage Rx if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $2,400, which is real money for the same class of medication.
- Pick MEDVi if what it does better matters to you — injection pricing is consistent between the first month and renewals.
- Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.
The verdict
For most people starting out, Coreage Rx at $199 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. MEDVi earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Coreage Rx and MEDVi.
