"The FTC alleges, however, that Hims does not give most consumers a consultation with a provider. Instead, by submitting their intake form, most consumers will unknowingly be charged for and subscribed to a prescription treatment without having a chance to review or approve it. According to the complaint, Hims enrolls consumers in recurring subscription plans for those treatments shortly after receiving consumers’ intake forms."
Isn't that basically what Hims and Hers is for? "I want a sketchy NP to just sign off on whatever drugs I want from the menu"? First it was dick pills and hair growth, now it's Ozempic and ket on demand.

That’s my impression but they absolutely cannot say that. Admitting that would almost certainly invoke DEA charges and impacts to prescription privileges for everyone involved.
They have to at least maintain a facade that a professional looked and decided the meds were appropriate.
Selling ketamine prescriptions like that is wild though, if they’re doing that. I can see the DEA looking the other way on viagra and hair meds but ketamine feels like jamming a stick in the DEAs eye and asking what they’re gonna do about it.

Unfortunately, my first thought is "well, Trump or one of his 3 main children, or a Trump admin bigwig didn't get a piece of the action".
