What GLP-1 does Hers use right now?

Hers doesn't use just one GLP-1 — it offers a menu. As of June 2026, the medicines Hers lists that are FDA-approved for weight loss are the Wegovy pill, Wegovy pen, Zepbound vial, Zepbound KwikPen, and Foundayo pill. It also lists Ozempic pill, Ozempic, and Mounjaro, which are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes — not weight loss under those brand names. All are real, brand-name drugs made by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.

A quick translation — three ingredients, several brand names:

*Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss. Hers also lists Ozempic (weekly shot, from $199/mo) and Mounjaro (around $1,899/mo) — both diabetes-labeled. Provider-stated "from" prices, June 2026. A separate Hers Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/month) is required and billed on top. Checkout prices after eligibility review are not independently verified. Re-checked monthly.

Is the medicine from Hers the real, FDA-approved drug?

Yes. If Hers prescribes you a brand-name medicine — Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo, Ozempic, or Mounjaro — it's the exact same FDA-approved drug you'd get from a pharmacy or any other telehealth provider. An FDA-approved medicine is the same product no matter who writes the prescription. The maker and the formula don't change. "FDA-approved" means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviewed the drug's safety and how well it works before it could be sold. That's the gold standard.

The simplest way to be sure: during your intake, ask your provider to confirm you're getting a brand-name, FDA-approved medicine — not a compounded one. With Hers' current menu, brand-name is the default. But it never hurts to confirm.

Does Hers still use compounded semaglutide?

Mostly no — and this is the biggest thing that changed. From 2024 into early 2026, Hers became known for compounded semaglutide. In March 2026, after legal and regulatory pressure, Hims & Hers switched to FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and stopped advertising compounded versions. Today it plans to offer compounded medicine only in limited cases — for patients whose needs can't be met by the available FDA-approved GLP-1s, and only when a provider decides it's clinically necessary.

If a low-cost compounded program is what you're really after, Hers isn't your best match anymore. Compare that path honestly with Find My GLP-1 Path.

How much does Hers GLP-1 cost?

Hers' medicine prices start at $149/month for the pills and $199–$299/month for the shots — but that's medicine only. A required Hers Weight Loss Membership adds $39 the first month and $149/month after that. So your real first-month cost starts around $188, and your real ongoing cost starts around $298. Insurance isn't accepted.

Most pages quote the "$149" and stop. We won't. Here's the real math.

Your real monthly cost at Hers (medicine + membership)

Medicine "from" prices from forhers.com (June 2026). Membership is billed separately, doesn't guarantee a prescription, and medicine isn't available without it. These are starting prices — higher doses can cost more. Re-verified monthly.

How that compares to buying direct

The takeaway: if all you want is the medicine at the lowest price, buying direct from NovoCare or LillyDirect can cost less. If you want Hers' care team, app, and support wrapped around the medicine, the $149/month membership is what you're paying for that.

Does Hers take insurance or handle prior authorization?

No — Hers runs its GLP-1 program as a cash-pay path. It says insurance isn't required, which keeps sign-up simple, but it also means Hers won't bill your plan or chase a prior authorization for you. Instead, Hers gives you FSA/HSA reimbursement instructions to submit on your own. If using your insurance is your main goal, an insurance-first provider will serve you better.

Which Hers GLP-1s are FDA-approved for weight loss — and which aren't?

Three of Hers' options are FDA-approved for weight loss: Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo. Two more — Ozempic and Mounjaro — are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss, though a provider can prescribe them "off-label" if appropriate. If weight loss is your goal, the cleanest paths are Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo.

"Off-label" means a doctor legally prescribes an approved drug for a use not on its label. It's common and legal, but the medicine wasn't reviewed by the FDA for that use, and insurance is less likely to cover it. Bottom line: if you want a medicine the FDA cleared specifically for weight loss, ask about Wegovy, Zepbound, or Foundayo.

Deep dives — each Hers GLP-1 explained

Pill or shot? Choosing your Hers treatment path

Hers is a strong choice if you'd rather take a pill — it lists three: the Wegovy pill, Foundayo pill, and Ozempic pill. But "I want a pill" isn't enough to pick one. Here's how to narrow it down.

Is Hers legit?

Yes — Hers is a legitimate, certified telehealth platform that now prescribes FDA-approved GLP-1 medicine. It's LegitScript-certified, it names its medical leaders publicly, and the drugs it dispenses today are brand-name and FDA-approved. It also carries real baggage from its compounded-medicine past, and you deserve the full story.

Safety, side effects, and who should not take a GLP-1

GLP-1 medicines are powerful prescription drugs with real risks, and they're not right for everyone. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. These medicines carry a boxed warning — the FDA's strongest — about a risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. They shouldn't be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN2 (a rare inherited condition). Only a licensed provider can tell you if a GLP-1 is safe for you.

Can you cancel Hers GLP-1 membership?

Yes — Hers says you can cancel the membership anytime, but canceling the membership also cancels any active medication plan and your access to care through the platform. Canceling a medication plan, on the other hand, doesn't cancel an active membership — so check both before you leave. The real commitment starts when you're approved and enrolled; budget for the ongoing total from the cost table, not just the $39 first month.
