Read our full Hims review →About Pallas Health
$199 and $299 a month are the averages on the compounded plans, with messaging, check-ins and provider care folded in, no membership charged on the side, and the figure unchanged at every dose. Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic and Wegovy sell under their brand names next to compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide. Brentmoor, Inc. is the operator. Disclosure is unusually thorough here: NPIs you can verify against two named advising physicians, Lion MD as clinical partner, six pharmacy partners named, and all 50 states plus DC covered.

Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
