Hers offers access to both injectable and oral prescription weight loss medications, including:
Ozempic® and Wegovy® (semaglutide)
Mounjaro® and Zepbound® (tirzepatide)
Generic liraglutide
Naltrexone
Metformin
Topiramate
Bupropion
Keep scrolling for details.
Ozempic® and Wegovy® are once-a-week injections that contain the active ingredient semaglutide.
Ozempic® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, but it’s sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. Off-label use is when a medication is prescribed by a medical professional to treat something it’s not FDA-approved for — in this case, overweight or obesity.
Wegovy® is an FDA-approved medication for weight loss that can help people lose up to 20 percent of their body weight.***
Wegovy® promotes weight loss by helping to reduce your appetite, so you consume fewer calories. It also slows the speed food moves through your stomach, which keeps you feeling full longer after meals.
In Ozempic® and Wegovy® clinical trials, common side effects included:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Constipation
Side effects are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to treatment.
***Along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased exercise. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, 68-week clinical study of Wegovy®, about one in three adults with obesity or with overweight and weight-related medical problems achieved 20 percent weight loss. Average weight loss achieved was 15 percent. Individual results may vary. Wegovy® is a registered trademark of Novo Nordisk A/S.
A healthcare provider will assess your health and medical history and let you know if semaglutide is right for you.
You may qualify if you have:
A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
A BMI of 27 or more with a weight-related medical condition
Weight-related medical conditions may include:
Sleep apnea
Prediabetes
Cardiovascular disease
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels, including high cholesterol)
You don’t need insurance coverage to get weight loss injections through Hers.
If you have a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), you can use those pretax dollars to cover some of your costs. This could save you around 30 percent, but it varies. Check your plan for details.
Liraglutide is the active ingredient in the GLP-1 medications Saxenda®, which is FDA-approved for weight loss, and Victoza®, which is FDA-approved for diabetes. There’s also a generic form available.
Liraglutide is a daily injection. It can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar (glucose) levels and people with obesity lose weight.
As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide triggers the release of insulin in the body to lower blood sugar levels. It also slows gastric emptying, helping you feel fuller, while targeting hunger hormones. This can help you stick to healthy portion sizes and more nutritious foods to promote weight loss.
If you get generic liraglutide — or any other weight loss medication — through the Hers platform, you’ll also get access to a full suite of weight loss support services, including food and activity trackers, high-protein recipes, and 24/7 messaging with your Care Team.
Mounjaro® is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes. Zepbound® is FDA-approved for weight loss in people with obesity or overweight with a weight-related health condition.
These once-weekly injections contain the active ingredient tirzepatide. Tirzepatide works similarly to GLP-1 drugs but also targets another receptor, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). It works by reducing hunger and making you feel fuller.
All medications come with the risk of side effects. For example, metformin can cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting — but these tend to be mild and subside over time.
Your Care Team will work with you to find a weight loss treatment plan that minimizes side effects and maximizes results.
If your provider determines you’re eligible, you can get prescription anti-nausea medication through the Hers platform.
You’ll also get a personalized dosing schedule to suit your body and minimize the risk of side effects. And you’ll have 24/7 access to provider messaging if you have questions or concerns.
There’s no set timeframe for how long you need to stay on a weight loss treatment plan.
Generally speaking, if it’s working and you’re tolerating the medication well, you can take it until you reach your goal weight — and possibly beyond for weight management.
You don’t have to stay on weight loss treatment long-term if you don’t want to, but it can help you maintain your weight in the long run.
Through Hers, your Care Team can answer questions about long-term use and guide you through coming off medication if you choose to. Always consult a provider before discontinuing medication.

“I was so tired of missing out on all of the fun things that my family was doing simply because I didn’t fit, or I was too tired. I discovered Hers while I was searching for a good solution to try a GLP-1 medication. The reviews seemed positive, so I thought I would give it a try. I was shocked at how easy and streamlined the process was to get started.
“The providers recommended my starting point and dosing schedule. I was very pleased with the gradual dose increase, as it’s caused very few side effects. I’ve been shocked at how quickly I’ve lost weight.
“The app has been incredible. It’s helped me learn about the medication, as well as healthy habits and exercise goals. It is also incredible in helping me track my water intake, fitness plan, and weight loss.
“I’m finally able to do things with my family that I’d previously never been able to do. I can go on rides now. I can go on hikes now. And I don’t have to worry about asking for a seatbelt extender on an airplane! This has been life-changing.”

Everyone is unique — that goes double when it comes to weight loss. With Hers, you’ll get personalized support from your provider tailored to your goals, health history, and the underlying factors affecting your weight.
This may include a personalized dosing schedule. If eligible, your provider will work with you to find a dosing plan that suits your body and minimizes side effects. For those who don’t tolerate the commercially available dosages of weight loss medications, a personalized plan may help.

Doctor-approved, high-protein meal plans
A library of more than 100 simple recipes developed by nutritionists

You can also purchase meal-replacement bars and shakes through the Hers app.
These bars and shakes are recommended by doctors for people taking weight loss medications. They’re packed with protein and essential vitamins and minerals to ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you need while your appetite is reduced.
Movement is also key for weight loss. It can help you build and maintain muscle and improve your overall health — both mental and physical.
In the Hers app, you can:
Track when you hit your movement goals to make it a daily habit
Follow gentle guided yoga flows
Get strength training education developed by a licensed personal trainer
Access educational guides to feel informed and inspired as you start adding more physical activity to your routine

Get answers to frequently asked questions about getting weight loss medication online.
Yes, you can get prescription weight loss pills online. If you have a prescription, you can order them through an online pharmacy. You can get a prescription, if eligible, and access weight loss pills through telehealth platforms like Hers.
The pill form of Ozempic® is Rybelsus®, which is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. There are also oral weight loss medications like metformin, Qsymia, and topiramate.
The best drug to lose weight fast might be a GLP-1 injection. GLP-1s tend to be more effective than weight loss pills, but the best weight loss drug for you depends on your weight, goals, and overall health. Plus, healthy weight loss is slow and steady at 1 to 2 pounds a week.
