What to watch for with Hers and Sprout Health

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)
