Is Hims legit?
Hims is a real, operating US company, and the FDA has issued it a warning letter. The letter is summarized at the top of this review. Read what it alleges before you decide, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you. We rate Hims 6.8/10 overall.
Is there a Hims promo or coupon code?
Hims has no code to type in. The current offer: Hims Weight Loss Membership: $39 for the first month, auto-renews at $149/month thereafter (membership billed separately from medication; meds from $149/mo). It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Hims promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Hims scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Hims has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.0/10The FDA has issued it a warning letter. It names the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
10.0/10Serves 50 of 50 states.
Support10%
3.0/10The price covers the medication.

What signing up with Hims involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Hims shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC fills the prescriptions, and Hims names it publicly, which most sellers do not.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication.
Price shown before you start
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Hims serves all 50 states.
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. It is covered in the enforcement section below; read what it alleges before you decide.

In its favor
- 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
Against it
- 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
What Hims charges
Hims lists $199/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $199/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide: $299/month
HumeCare+, at about $199/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Hims dispenses
Hims prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. Both routes are available: the FDA-approved pen, or a compounded version at lower cost. The difference is not cosmetic. The approved product has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and manufacturing quality, and a compounded preparation has not.
Safety and disclosure
Hims tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire, that it treats patients in all 50 states, and the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter, summarized at the top of this page. A letter flags a problem rather than ruling a seller out, so read what it says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded, the named pharmacy is the detail that matters most: its license is the one you can look up. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Hims bills your plan before you start.
- A seller's regulatory history matters to you more than price. Read the warning letter summarized above before deciding.
It fits if
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Hims charges $199/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter summarized at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you.
The Bottom Line
Hims' strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Starting at $199 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Hims is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Sesame Care (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.

Hims starts at $199 a month. The pricing table above lists every tier.
Hims says it treats patients in all 50 states.
Hims sells semaglutide (sold as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (sold as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Both are listed in FDA-approved brand form and in a cheaper compounded form.
Hims lists both. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide come out of a licensed compounding pharmacy and cost less. The brand pens are the FDA-approved reference products and cost more. What you give up on each path is set out in the review above.
Check whether Hims bills your insurance before you sign up. Compounded GLP-1s are rarely covered by insurance, so plan on paying the listed cash price.
Hims says the price covers medication. The strip near the top of this review shows what is included and what is not.
You fill in an online intake, a licensed clinician decides whether a GLP-1 is appropriate, and if the answer is yes the medication ships to you. Hims runs that whole sequence on its own site.
The FDA warning letter is the one that matters, and it is summarized at the top of this review. Also weigh these before you buy: Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching.

Regulatory notice
Hims has an FDA warning letter on record, dated September 9, 2025
This letter concerns unlawful sale of unapproved and misbranded drugs to united states consumers over the internet (telehealth). A warning letter is public correspondence from FDA, not an adjudication. On its own it establishes no finding of illegal activity, and a company that gets one often answers with corrective action.
