About Hims
Hims is a major men's telehealth brand. Its weight loss offering is compounded semaglutide on a 6-month plan.
Read our full Hims review →About This Gen Wellness
No price appears anywhere on the site. You learn the cost after a clinician has read your assessment. ThisGen, LLC confines its practice to New York, and what marks it out is procedure: an intake form alone never produces a prescription, which instead requires a live, synchronous audio-video visit with a clinician licensed in that state. Tirzepatide or semaglutide may figure in the weight-loss program, which sits beside ED care and hormone therapy under medical supervision.
Read our full This Gen Wellness review →Pros & Cons
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
This Gen Wellness
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- Names Olympia Pharmaceuticals as the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to This Gen Wellness
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Serves only 1 states, so check that yours is one of them
