Visit Telos RxThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out Telos Rx on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 78 (A vs C). Moms who want a clear, honest first step — a real clinician instead of a questionnaire, a flat price, and the freedom to pause when life needs you to.
Telos Rx is still a genuine option — $99/mo semaglutide, $139/mo tirzepatide (sublingual $129, microdose $116), four flat posted prices and a written no-increase promise — but still no published state list. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #1 · Grade A
What we like
- One flat monthly price, with no teaser rate that jumps after the first month — you know the number before you commit
- A clinician reads your history and will genuinely talk timing with you if you're postpartum, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in one account, so you and a clinician can choose — and switch — without starting over
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom teaser price — a couple of marketplaces dangle a lower first-month number
- Compounded medication only, not FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB-GYN or hormone consult
Mama-Match
Telos Rx
Rank #23 · Grade C
What we like
- Four price points posted up front, before any intake — genuinely transparent on the headline number
- Stated flat pricing — 'your monthly cost stays the same even as your dose goes up' — in writing on the pricing page and its own FAQ
- Oral/sublingual and microdose tirzepatide options for a gentler start
The caveats
- States served aren't published anywhere on the site
- No named pharmacy or medical director; self-stated Trustpilot rating is unverified
- Compounded only; sublingual delivery is far less studied than injections
