Hims & Hers Health, Inc., the leading health and wellness platform, today announced the addition of GLP-1 injections to its comprehensive weight loss portfolio, giving customers an affordable way to consistently access safe, high-quality weight loss treatment.

The company now offers access to GLP-1 injections in addition to weight management oral medication kits, so that customers can truly personalize their weight loss experience. Providing access to compounded GLP-1s means eligible customers can use medications with the same active ingredient as Ozempic® and Wegovy® without navigating the shortages and costs that are currently limiting access to the branded medications. Through a partnership with a leading US manufacturer of generic and 503B compounded injectable medications, Hims & Hers can help millions of Americans who have obesity and are looking for help safely managing their weight.

“The core of our business is to offer a truly personalized experience that customers can trust and rely on,” said Andrew Dudum, CEO and co-founder of Hims & Hers. “We’ve leveraged our size and scale to secure access to one of the highest-quality supplies of compounded GLP-1 injections available today. We’re passing that access and value along to our customers, who deserve the highest standard of clinical safety and efficacy to meet their goals, and we’re doing it in a safe, affordable way that others can’t deliver.”

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), around 70% of American adults have obesity or are overweight, and losing 5 to 10% of that body weight can reduce weight-related health risks, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. GLP-1 medications can support healthy weight loss along with a reduced calorie diet and increased exercise by helping manage blood sugar levels, curb cravings and suppress appetite, so people eat less without feeling deprived.

The Hims & Hers platform is built on the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness treatments. Medical providers need a broad spectrum of solutions to address the needs of customers and that includes those with weight challenges. The current Hims & Hers Weight Loss offering is tracking to eclipse $100M in revenue by the end of 20251, as previously discussed, growing faster than any speciality in the company’s history. Building on that success, offering access to compounded GLP-1s gives medical providers and customers consistent and affordable access to effective, trusted and safe medications.

“We know weight loss medications alone do not treat obesity effectively, so we’ve built a holistic weight management solution that supports customers as they combine powerful medications with healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercise, improved sleep, and eating nutritious foods,” said Dr. Patrick Carroll, Chief Medical Officer of Hims & Hers. “Our comprehensive approach to weight loss comes with support from medical providers who understand the nuance of weight gain and weight loss. We design all of our solutions to help customers be successful in the long term, and that means providing an experience personalized to the individual.”

GLP-1 injections are fulfilled and shipped from Hims & Hers’ affiliated pharmacies. Once consistent supply is available through the pharmacies’ wholesaler, Hims & Hers plans to make branded options available to customers, expanding the offering beyond the current oral medication kits and compounded GLP-1 injectable medications.
