1835 ET - Hims & Hers Health says it will stop offering compounded semaglutide, a version of the active ingredient in weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic, after the first quarter. The stoppage comes after the FDA last week determined that shortages of the drugs had been resolved. CEO Andrew Dudum says on a call with analysts that the company will begin notifying customers of the stop in the coming weeks. "I would suspect, you know, just being very direct, that a lot of those patients will try to go into the open market and try to secure a branded option in some form factor," he says, though he adds that the company will continue to offer other forms of weight-loss drugs on its platform. Shares fall 18% in after-hours trading. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
