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
