Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month

Medications

sildenafiltadalafilapomorphinebremelanotideoxytocinvalacyclovirdoxycycline

Pros

✓The whole price list sits on the homepage with no intake required: 14-panel STI testing $279, ED from $109, DoxyPEP from $99, valacyclovir from $109, and UTI, bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection treatment at $63 each (checked July 28, 2026)
✓There are no subscriptions at all. 'No subscriptions. No recurring charges. Ever.' is stated on every product page, which removes the auto-renewal trap that affects most of this category
✓Every price is all-in: physician consult, prescription, medication and overnight or 2-day shipping are included with no separate consultation fee
✓The compounding disclosure is precise and correct, and appears on each compounded product rather than buried in a footer
✓Exact doses and beyond-use dates are published for compounded products - genuinely rare, and it lets you see how long a preparation is actually good for
✓The ED range clearly separates FDA-approved generic sildenafil and tadalafil from the compounded Duo and Trio blends, so you can choose a plain approved medicine if you prefer
✓The STI panel is clinically thoughtful. It includes oral and anal swabs and explains why: chlamydia and gonorrhoea can infect the throat or rectum, and urine-and-blood-only panels miss those infections entirely. Most direct-to-consumer STI kits do not collect those sites
✓Testing is physician-ordered with a named board-certified physician assigned, and results come 2-3 days after the lab receives your kit
✓Its own editorial is unusually candid about the industry it operates in, including a piece on 'The Uncomfortable Truth About Online ED Sales'
✓Compounded medication is made to order within three business days and shipped in insulated packaging at no extra cost

Cons

✗Prices are high relative to alternatives. DoxyPEP starts at $99 here against $22 at Wisp, and UTI treatment is $63 against Wisp's cheaper generics. You are paying a premium for the all-in, no-subscription model
✗The Trio blend stacks two PDE5 inhibitors - sildenafil and tadalafil - and adds apomorphine. Duo stacks the two PDE5 inhibitors. No FDA-approved product combines two PDE5 inhibitors, and doubling the same mechanism compounds the blood-pressure-lowering effect without established added benefit
✗Shameless Desire combines tadalafil with apomorphine and oxytocin. Apomorphine independently lowers blood pressure and causes nausea, so the combined hypotensive risk deserves a direct conversation with the prescriber
✗Bremelanotide is FDA-approved only as Vyleesi, an autoinjector for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Selling it as a compounded nasal spray for both men and women is a different route of administration and an off-label use
✗Oxytocin at 100 IU sublingually for desire has essentially no controlled trial evidence supporting it
✗The bremelanotide nasal spray carries a 30-day beyond-use date, so a $235 purchase has to be used quickly or wasted
✗The advertised '4.9-Star Rating' and '10,000+ patients served' could not be verified against any independent source
✗Not available in all 50 states - the site states 49
✗Anyone taking nitrates or riociguat must not use the PDE5-containing products, and the apomorphine-containing ones interact seriously with 5-HT3 anti-emetics such as ondansetron
