YourMedicals, an online pharmacy dispensing from Leicester

YourMedicals is a UK-registered online pharmacy (GPhC 9012314) operating from a physical counter in Leicester. Its activity combines the sale of medicines and health products with an online clinical consultation service: every treatment order is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber before being dispensed. The company states it has dispensed treatments to 21,139 UK patients and sets standard delivery at 14 days, a timeframe it attributes to high demand.

Four treatment clinics

The clinical offering is organised into four areas, presented as a single service with identical prescribing and dispensing standards:

• Weight loss: Mounjaro, Wegovy, the oral formulation of Wegovy and Orlistat. The catalogue indicated prices from £79.99 for the first month, with Mounjaro from £119.99 and Orlistat from £19.99.
• Sexual health: sildenafil and tadalafil, with starting prices of £8.99.
• Asthma: salbutamol inhalers from £13.99 per inhaler.
• Travel health: melatonin for jet lag from £16.99 per treatment.

The company notes that it only prescribes when treatment is clinically appropriate and that it does not charge if a prescription is not issued.

Oral treatment for weight loss

YourMedicals highlights the tablet form of Wegovy as the first oral GLP-1 weight-loss treatment licensed in the UK. According to the website information, it is taken once a day and the clinical trials cited by the company report body weight loss of up to 16.6%. The indicated price starts at £79.99 and the firm explains how to switch from injectable treatments.

Health product catalogue

In addition to prescription treatments, the online shop groups a wide selection of medicines and parapharmacy items by category:

• Allergies and hay fever, with antihistamine syrups and tablets, creams, eye drops and nasal sprays.
• Cough, cold and flu, with medicines, nasal and inhaled decongestants and sore throat products.
• Digestion and stomach: reflux and heartburn, constipation, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and wind.
• General medicine: asthma, jet lag, joint and muscle pain, migraine, pain relief, sleep aid, stop smoking, vitamins and supplements.
• Care: diabetes, ear, eye, foot, nail and oral care.
• Men's health and women's health, with sections on sexually transmitted infections, hair loss, sexual health, period delay, pregnancy and thrush.
• Skincare: acne, eczema and psoriasis, fungal infections, moisturisers and scalp products.
• Baby and child: breastfeeding, chickenpox, fever and pain, feeding, nappy rash, teething and threadworm.
• First aid: antiseptics, topical anaesthetics and dressings.

Items marked as pharmacy-only medicines are reviewed by a pharmacist before dispensing.

How the service and orders work

The process described consists of five steps: choosing a clinic, a short online clinical questionnaire of around five minutes, review by a UK-registered prescriber, dispensing at the pharmacy counter and shipping. The company states that it does not charge platform fees, that orders are one-off with no subscriptions or automatic renewals, and that it allows changing the dose or medicine through the patient portal. Repeats can be requested with one click from the account, with prescriber review but without a full new consultation.

Orders are shipped by Royal Mail in plain packaging, with no branding or labels revealing the contents. The company also handles NHS prescriptions.

Registered pharmacy and prescribing team

Registration as a pharmacy with the GPhC (number 9012314) and the existence of a team of UK-registered prescribers are the cornerstones on which the company builds its proposition. Dispensing takes place at the Leicester counter, linking the online operation to an identified physical premises.
