Hims & Hers semaglutide review
Widest range of formats. How they handle your dose ladder, what support looks like when side effects hit, and what you actually pay — $188 a month.
Updated 2026-09-18
If the needle is the thing stopping you, Hims & Hers has the widest set of ways around it — oral kits from about $79 a month, and an oral semaglutide line with the 1.5 mg dose near $149.
Those cheap figures refer to oral products, not the weekly injection. The injection lands closer to $199 before the $39 membership, so around $238 a month. Both are legitimate treatments; they are not the same treatment at two prices.
How the dose ladder is handled
The semaglutide ladder runs 0.25 to 2.4 mg over several months. Dose changes are handled in-app and are straightforward. If you start on an oral product and decide you want the injection, or the reverse, that switch is easy here in a way it is not at most competitors.
| Semaglutide doses | Step up roughly every |
|---|---|
| 0.25 mg → 0.5 mg → 1 mg → 1.7 mg → 2.4 mg | 4 weeks |
| Price changes as you climb? | Check before you start |
The full schedule, and what to do if a rung goes badly, is in the dose ladder explained.
Support when it gets hard
Well-designed app, quick messaging, reliable refills. The thing Hims genuinely does better than anyone here is making the mechanics disappear, which matters a lot in the first two months when everything feels unfamiliar.
Large publicly traded telehealth platform. Sells oral kits, compounded injections and branded Zepbound side by side, with a membership required across the board.
What it costs
About $2,256 to $2,856 a year for the injection depending on tier. Oral routes are cheaper but are a different product.

Strengths
- One account covers oral, compounded injectable and branded options.
- Large enough to keep supply steady when smaller sellers run dry.
- Branded Zepbound is available without leaving the platform.
Drawbacks
- The $39 membership is charged on top of every medication price.
- The cheapest advertised numbers refer to oral kits, which are not equivalent to weekly injections.
- Renewal pricing is materially higher than the introductory rate.
Worth knowing. The advertised entry prices and the membership are separate charges. Add $39/month to whatever medication figure you were quoted.
