Semaglutide comes in more forms at Hims & Hers than anywhere else on this site — weekly injection, oral kits, and an oral line priced from around $49 a month.

The cheap advertised figures are all oral. The weekly injection sits nearer $199 before the $39 membership, so around $238 a month. Oral semaglutide is a legitimate medication in its own right; it is not a cheaper version of the injection.

What is actually supplied

Oral semaglutide is absorbed very differently from an injection — it has strict instructions about taking it on an empty stomach with a small sip of water and waiting before eating or taking anything else. If nobody has explained that to you, the product will underperform. It is a real consideration that price tables never capture.

How the prescription works

Well-run intake, in-app dose management, reliable refills. Switching formulation is easier here than anywhere else.

Large publicly traded telehealth platform. Sells oral kits, compounded injections and branded Zepbound side by side, with a membership required across the board.

Reading the price

About $2,256 to $2,856 a year for the injection depending on tier. Oral routes are cheaper and are a different treatment.

The $79 entry point is for oral kits, not the weekly injection. Injection pricing lands nearer $199 before membership.

What we verified

  • Weight-loss membership advertised at $39 for the first month.
  • Compounded GLP-1 injections priced from $199/month.
  • Oral medication kits priced from $79/month.
  • Branded Zepbound offered at $1,899/month.
  • Company has announced oral semaglutide pricing starting around $49/month, with the 1.5 mg dose around $149/month.

Checked 2026-09-18. Pricing here changes frequently; treat anything older than a month as a starting point rather than a quote.

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.

Important. The advertised entry prices and the membership are separate charges. Add $39/month to whatever medication figure you were quoted.

Our verdict

A good place to be if you have not settled on a formulation. Do not treat the oral price as the injection price — the adverts encourage exactly that mistake.
