Telehealth giant Hims will soon sell its own version of Ozempic that costs just a quarter of the price of the name brand.<\/p>\n

Hims, a wellness start-up known for its hair and sex supplements, announced Monday that it will sell a ‘copycat’ of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is known as compounding, which is when companies can offer prescription drugs without FDA approval to combat shortages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The injection cost will start as just $199 for a month’s supply, whereas Ozempic and Wegovy can total over $1,300. This price also includes unlimited consultations with a doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hims did not announce when the drug will be available.\u00a0<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Supplement giant Hims will sell its own version of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, \uc13c\ud2b8\ub9bd\uad6c\ub9e4<\/a> for just $199 per month<\/p>\n

Hims also specializes in sexual health, hair loss, and mental health supplements and \uc5e0\ube45\uc2a4\uc5d0\uc2a4 \uc0ac\uc6a9\ubc95<\/a> medications<\/b><\/p>\n

Hims said the goal is to help customers get access to the drugs without ‘navigating the shortages and costs that are currently limiting access to the branded medications.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The news comes as several types of drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy face record-high shortages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A recent report from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and the University of Utah Drug Information Service, for example, found that 323 drugs are currently running low, surpassing<\/a> 2014’s high of 320.<\/p>\n

Andrew Dundum, Hims chief executive officer, said: ‘It’s going to be a huge part of the weight loss category moving forward.<\/p>\n

‘Our belief is that compounding can be done very safely, if done correctly.’\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The announcement comes after Hims launched a weight loss program in December, which includes access to oral, non-GLP-1 medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Compounded weight loss drugs have become more popular in recent months as Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk and Wegovy manufacturer Eli Lilly have struggled to meet surging demand for the injections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though the FDA allows companies to make compounded drugs like these, the agency does not review their safety or efficacy.<\/p>\n

Mr Dundum did not say where the new drugs will be made but noted it is ‘one of the largest generics manufacturers.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hims also announced that it will offer compounded versions of tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound, in the coming months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company also said it will offer name-brand Ozempic and Wevovy once there is enough supply.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
