What to watch for with Hers and SkinnyRx

Hers

  • Pending federal enforcement against the parent company: on July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and by California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the Northern District of California over subscription billing, cancellation friction and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. The case status is Pending and these are allegations, not findings (checked 2026-09-03).
  • Every medication figure excludes the required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo); exact product and dose prices can raise the total above $188 and $298
Hers' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Brand-name paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199. Wegovy and Foundayo carry FDA approval for weight management, Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and is used off label here. With the required membership, a $149 medication path totals $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing
  • Hers lists brand-name Zepbound access, with medication billed separately from the required Weight Loss Membership
  • Part of publicly traded Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS)
  • Broader women's health platform, integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services

More to watch for

  • Care is delivered online through messaging and the app; confirm how to reach the care team for prescription or refill questions
  • Older compounded-plan prices do not establish the current product, dose or full bill; confirm the actual prescription and checkout
  • Zepbound medication starts at $299 before the required membership; that path totals $338 in month one and at least $448/mo ongoing, with exact dose pricing potentially higher
Medicines listed
  • Wegovy (brand-name injection pen)
  • Wegovy (brand-name oral pill)
  • Ozempic (brand-name injection pen, FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off label for weight loss)
  • Ozempic (brand-name oral pill, FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off label for weight loss)
  • Foundayo (brand-name oral pill)
  • Zepbound (brand-name)
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Included in required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo)
Shipping
Hers advertises free delivery; confirm delivery terms if a separate pharmacy fulfils your prescription
States
Not confirmed. Hers says its GLP-1 offering does not cover every state, but its medication FAQ does not name the excluded states. Confirm your state and prescribed treatment before enrolling (checked 2026-09-26)
Cancellation
Hers' [weight-loss terms](https://www.forhers.com/terms-and-conditions) require cancellation at least two days before the originally scheduled billing date. Use My Subscriptions in your account or its Customer Help Center. Canceling medication alone leaves membership active; canceling membership also ends its medication plan. After a prepaid supply ships, membership charges can continue until that supply period ends. The first membership month and shipped medication are nonrefundable. Gifthealth-billed medication has separate cancellation and refund rules.

SkinnyRx

  • Every advertised price is a first month rate and SkinnyRx does not publish what month two costs. Its terms say the renewal rate is described at checkout, and that discounts may be reversed if you cancel before the end of a promotional or committed term.
  • SkinnyRx names its medical director, Sajad Zalzala, M.D., and names AyaRx as the telemedicine partner behind its medical services, but it does not name the compounding pharmacy that fills prescriptions and it publishes no founders or executive team.
SkinnyRx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Four product-specific options to discuss with a clinician: semaglutide or tirzepatide, each as an injection or a dissolving tablet
  • $99 for the first month on both the compounded semaglutide and the compounded tirzepatide injection, quoted on each product page, among the lowest entry rates in the compounded segment
  • Fast onboarding: a short online intake, a prescription within 24 hours where no video visit is required, and free overnight shipping on all orders with tracking within 2 business days
  • A public Trustpilot profile provides service feedback to read alongside the FDA record and the written billing terms; those reviews do not establish tablet effectiveness

More to watch for

  • Cash-pay only, does not bill commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. HSA/FSA payments are accepted, which is the main way to soften the cost.
  • Independent reviews flag inconsistent customer-service responsiveness, a real consideration since titration support and dose adjustments run through chat
  • FDA warning letter #717989, issued February 20, 2026 to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, cites misleading labels and website claims for compounded GLP-1s. It is a labeling/marketing record, not an unsafe-medication finding

States
47 for compounded medications (its terms exclude Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and bar residents of those states from ordering them); branded offerings may be available in all states
Cancellation
The September 22 terms allow renewal processing up to five days before the next period and require cancellation at least five days before the applicable renewal-processing date. They include non-refundable fees, return-before-refund conditions and possible reversal of promotional discounts. Product FAQs use simpler cancellation/refund wording. Ask support for the exact deadline, refund eligibility and any return requirement in writing before paying; canceling is not a guaranteed refund.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
