Hims & Hers to offer compounded GLP-1 weight-loss injections
Hims & Hers Health is introducing access to compounded GLP-1 weight loss injections as Ozempic and Wegovy soar in popularity.
Digital pharmacy startup Hims & Hers Health is introducing access to compounded GLP-1 weight loss injections, the company announced Monday.
Shares of the company surged.
The company, which offers a range of direct-to-consumer treatments for conditions like erectile dysfunction and hair loss, launched a weight loss program in December. But GLP-1 medications — such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which have skyrocketed in popularity — were not previously offered as part of that program.
Customers can access the compounded GLP-1 medications via a prescription from a licensed health-care provider on the Hims & Hers platform. Hims & Hers said it plans to make branded GLP-1 medications available to its customers once supply is consistently available.
The company’s oral medication kits start at $79 a month, and its compounded GLP-1 injections will start at $199 a month.
