How to Check a UK Online Pharmacy is Safe

Be confident that the pharmacy you choose is properly licensed and trustworthy before purchasing any prescription weight-loss medicine.

Verify GPhC Registration

Refer to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) guide to verify a pharmacy's registration and safety. Look for the official registered pharmacy logo and confirm the registration number on the GPhC website.

Check What's Included in the Service

Investigate whether the service includes complimentary ongoing support, such as guidance on diet and exercise, access to a GP, or additional perks like free needles and sharps bin.

MHRA Guidance

For additional information, consult the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA) guidance on obtaining Wegovy and other weight-loss medications.

Report Side Effects or Suspected Fake Medicines

If you encounter side effects from semaglutide, liraglutide, or any other drug, or suspect a product may not be authentic, report it through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.
