Read on for what’s available and a little background on the meds.
Through Hers, you can get weight loss injections and oral weight loss treatments.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist injections available through Hers include:
Wegovy®. Wegovy® contains the active ingredient semaglutide and is FDA-approved for people with excess weight or obesity. This weekly injection works by suppressing appetite and reducing cravings.
Ozempic. Ozempic is approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for patients with type 2 diabetes, but it’s often prescribed off-label for weight loss. It contains the same active ingredient as Wegovy® and is also a once-weekly injection.
Mounjaro. This once-weekly injection is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes but is often prescribed off-label for weight loss. The active ingredient is tirzepatide, and it can suppress hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
Zepbound. Zepbound also contains tirzepatide and is FDA-approved for weight loss in those with a BMI of 30 or more or at least 27 with a weight-related condition like sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, or hypertension (high blood pressure).
Generic liraglutide. Liraglutide is the active ingredient in both Saxenda® and Victoza®. Victoza is FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, while Saxenda is FDA-approved for the treatment of obesity. Liraglutide is administered as a once-daily injection.
Weight loss pills available through Hers include:
Bupropion. Bupropion is an antidepressant that can be prescribed off-label in combination with other medications to help support weight loss.
Metformin. Metformin is FDA-approved as a diabetes drug and sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. The daily pill can suppress appetite and promote insulin sensitivity.
Topiramate. Topiramate (or the brand-name version, Topamax®) is an antiseizure drug that’s prescribed off-label for weight loss. It suppresses appetite, which can help you feel fuller for longer
Naltrexone. Naltrexone reduces cravings for alcohol and opioids.
Through Hers, you can get custom oral weight loss kits with a combination of the above medications tailored to your needs and goals. Oral medication kits also include vitamin B12, a nutrient essential for overall health.
Oral medication kits — combined with a healthy lifestyle — helped customers lose an average of 15 pounds or 8.4% of their body weight in six months.*
*Based on self-reported data as of March 2025 from approximately 1,172 Hers customers on a personalized treatment plan including oral medication kits, along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise. Customers reported their weight at their initial medical consultation and again at their check-in about 6 months later.
If you’re eligible for GLP-1 injections or oral medication kits through Hers, your healthcare provider may give you a custom dosing schedule based on your medical history and weight loss goals. The aim of each personalized plan is to minimize side effects and maximize results and health benefits.
You might start on a low dose and increase slowly, or on a higher dose that increases rapidly, depending on what works best for your body. Your dosing schedule can also change down the line.
Nausea is a common side effect of some weight loss medications. To help, Hers offers access to prescription anti-nausea medication for those taking GLP-1 injections or weight loss pills at no extra cost, if eligible.
Your provider may prescribe ondansetron (generic for Zofran®), which you can take as you need it for nausea relief.
