Many weight loss medications out there can help you achieve your goals. Some are FDA-approved for weight loss, while others are prescribed off-label (for something other than their FDA-approved purpose).
With telehealth companies like Hims and Found, you can connect with a licensed healthcare provider, get a prescription (if medication is appropriate for you), and access weight loss medications online. Here are the medications available from both companies and a breakdown of how they work.
Hims offers access to injectable GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists or oral weight loss medications.
Let’s take a look at GLP-1 medications first. Through the Hims platform, qualifying customers may be able to access:
Wegovy®. This once-weekly injection is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat obesity and contains the active ingredient semaglutide. Wegovy® is intended for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related health condition like hypertension, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol. It comes in a higher maximum dose than Ozempic and works by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and helping you stay fuller longer.
Ozempic®. You’ve probably heard of Ozempic. It’s FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes, but it’s regularly prescribed off-label for weight loss.
Monjouro. Mounjaro is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes but prescribed off-label for weight loss. It’s a weekly injection that can suppress your appetite and make you feel fuller.
Zepbound. Zepbound conatins the active ingredient tirzepatide. It’s FDA-approved for weight loss.
Generic liraglutide. Saxenda — which is FDA-approved for weight loss — contains the active ingredient liraglutide.
Now for the weight loss pills. Weight Loss by Hims customers may be eligible for a wide array of oral medications, including:
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 make you feel fuller for longer
Naltrexone. Naltrexone reduces cravings for alcohol and opioids.
Your plan can be adjusted down the line as needed.
It’s normal to experience mild gastrointestinal side effects when starting weight loss medications. About 30 percent of metformin users report some GI discomfort.
To help your body adjust, your care team through Hims may recommend starting at a low dose and increasing gradually (keep in mind, this only applies to oral weight loss medications and generic GLP-1s).
Hims customers taking some GLP-1s or oral weight loss medications may also be eligible for prescription anti-nausea medication, at no additional cost. This offer is unique to Hims.
If your provider prescribes ondansetron (generic for Zofran®), you can take it as directed to treat nausea associated with weight loss medications. This can be a real asset as your body adjusts to weight loss medications.
Your plan can also be adjusted down the line as needed.
Found also offers access to injectable and oral weight loss medications.
Available weight loss injections may include Ozempic and Wegovy®, along with:
Mounjaro. Mounjaro is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes but prescribed off-label for weight loss. It’s a weekly injection that can suppress your appetite and make you feel fuller.
Zepbound. Zepbound contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. It’s FDA-approved for weight loss.
Trulicity. Trulicity is another weekly injection approved for those with type 2 diabetes and taken off-label for weight loss. The active ingredient in this one is called dulaglutide.
Victoza. Victoza, which contains the active ingredient liraglutide, is another diabetes medication sometimes used for weight loss. Unlike other options, Victoza is a daily injection.
Saxenda. Saxenda is also a daily injection containing liraglutide. This one is FDA-approved for weight loss.
For weight loss pills, Found offers access to:
Metformin
Contrave
Topiramate
Rybelsus, a daily semaglutide pill that’s FDA-approved for diabetes
Zonisamide, zonisamide (also sold under the brand name Zonisade®), which is a daily pill approved for seizures
Weight loss medication is just one tool in your weight loss toolbox. For long-term success, you’ll want to make lifestyle changes like eating nutritious foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
Both Hims and Found offer additional services to help you make these lifestyle changes. Here’s what the companies offer as part of their weight loss and weight management programs.
