Verdict

Same-day prescription, no lock-in, and brand-name confidence. The famous $199 compounded era ended in March 2026 after the Novo Nordisk settlement; new patients now route to branded products only.

Best for

Patients who want a fast, low-friction async path to a branded GLP-1 prescription with predictable all-in monthly pricing.

Not for

Patients who specifically wanted Hims's old $199 compounded semaglutide tier — that path is closed to new patients as of March 2026.

Pricing

Oral Wegovy $249/mo, injectable Wegovy $299/mo, Zepbound $399/mo. Compounded semaglutide grandfathered for legacy patients only.

Cash-pay all-in starts at $199/moThis price includes medication.

Lock-in & cancellation

Month-to-month

Online self-serve cancellation. The most-cited complaint in member feedback is surprise renewal billing — auto-renewal is on by default and the cancellation flow has been called friction-heavy.

Medication options

Now FDA-approved branded primarily, via Novo Nordisk partnership announced April 2026. 503A-compounded grandfathered for existing patients only.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still get the $199 compounded semaglutide from Hims?

Only if you were already on the Hims compounded program before March 9, 2026. New patient enrollment in compounded semaglutide ended that date as part of the Novo Nordisk settlement. New patients now choose between branded Wegovy ($249-$299/mo all-in) or Zepbound ($399/mo all-in).

Why are there so many billing complaints about Hims?

Two structural reasons. First, auto-renewal is on by default, and the cancellation flow takes more clicks than typical e-commerce. Second, the compounded-to-branded transition in 2026 forced unexpected price changes for some legacy patients. The product itself is not low-quality; the billing UX is the friction point.

How fast can I actually get a Hims prescription?

Most async onboardings result in a prescription within 24 hours of completing the intake form. If your intake flags a contraindication or insurance question, the timeline extends to 2-3 days. This is among the fastest in the category.
