EveryDayMeds is a UK based, GPhC registered online pharmacy and private prescribing service that offers prescription treatments, including weight loss injections, through remote clinical assessments and discreet, temperature controlled delivery.
If you are in the UK and are considering a prescription weight loss injection, such as Mounjaro, this guide explains how the online prescribing process works, what treatment may cost, how delivery is handled, how suitability is assessed, and how private prescribing differs from NHS weight management services.
Treatment suitability is determined following an individual clinical assessment by a registered prescriber. This guide is for general information only and should not be considered a personal recommendation.
How Online Doctor Prescribing Works
You do not need to see a GP in person to access this type of prescription weight loss treatment. A UK licensed prescriber can assess your suitability through an online consultation.
As part of the process, your consultation is reviewed by a registered prescriber to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. The online consultation includes a medical questionnaire covering your medical history, current medicines, eligibility, and your weight management goals.
Although it is not a requirement, it is good practice to let your regular GP know if you start a new prescription medicine so that your medical records remain up to date.
Clinical assessments are typically completed within 3 working days. If you need a faster review, an express 24 hour assessment option may be available for an additional fee, subject to availability.
Is This the Same as NHS Treatment?
No. It is important to understand that NHS weight management services and private treatment are separate pathways.
NHS weight management treatment is available through GP referral to an NHS commissioned specialist weight management service. Eligibility is based on a range of factors, including your BMI, weight related health conditions, and the relevant NHS and NICE guidance. Mounjaro is being introduced on the NHS for eligible patients in line with NHS England implementation plans and NICE guidance. Wegovy has also been available through the NHS for eligible patients since September 2023.
EveryDayMeds is a private, GPhC registered online pharmacy and prescribing service. It provides a paid route to accessing prescription weight loss medicines following an individual clinical assessment. It is not an NHS service or affiliated with the NHS.
If cost is an important consideration, it may be worth checking your eligibility for NHS treatment with your GP while also exploring private treatment options. If you are eligible through the NHS, the cost of your prescription will depend on the current NHS prescription charging arrangements and your exemption status. Treatment is still subject to meeting the relevant NHS eligibility criteria.
Weight Loss Injections Cost and Pricing
Private weight loss injections from EveryDayMeds start from £169.99 per pen (£129.99 on a first order with the current promotional code). All six licensed Mounjaro doses are available, and 2 pen and 3 pen bundles are also available for people who are established on an ongoing dose. See the dedicated single pen and bundle pricing pages for a full breakdown of the available options.
Across the private healthcare sector, weight loss injections typically cost between £150 and £300 per month, depending on the medicine, dose, and provider. Mounjaro is often priced from around £150 for the 2.5mg starting dose, while Wegovy is commonly available from around £100 to £240, depending on the prescribed dose and provider.
Prices can vary between providers and may change over time. Comparing the overall value, including the clinical assessment, prescription review, delivery, and ongoing support, can help you choose the option that best meets your needs.
Discreet, Temperature-Controlled Delivery
Orders are dispatched in discreet, unmarked packaging, with no indication of the contents or the type of medication on the outside of the parcel. They are sent using temperature controlled, tracked delivery to help maintain the medicine within the recommended storage conditions during transit.
This is standard practice for prescription medicines that require cold chain handling and is included as part of the delivery service.
Regulatory Standards You Can Actually Verify
Rather than relying on references to other organisations, here are EveryDayMeds' own credentials. EveryDayMeds is a GPhC registered pharmacy, and all prescribing decisions are made by UK licensed prescribers following an individual clinical assessment. Prescription medicines are handled in line with MHRA requirements, including cold chain storage where required.
If you would like to verify the pharmacy's registration, you can check the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) register independently.
Quick Takeaways
- No GP appointment is required to access treatment through this pathway. Your online consultation is reviewed by a registered prescriber before any treatment is prescribed. Although it is not required, it is good practice to let your GP know if you start a new prescription medicine.
- This is a private weight management service for eligible adults and is separate from NHS treatment. If you think you may be eligible for NHS treatment, it is worth discussing this with your GP, as NHS treatment may be available for eligible patients.
- Weight loss injections work by mimicking naturally occurring hormones involved in appetite regulation. For example, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, tirzepatide, helps regulate appetite and increase feelings of fullness. Mounjaro is taken as a once weekly injection.
- These medicines are intended to be used alongside healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity, rather than as a replacement for them.
- Treatment usually starts at a lower dose, with gradual dose increases where appropriate to help improve tolerability. Some people may need ongoing treatment to help maintain the benefits, depending on their individual circumstances and their prescriber's advice.
- Prices are designed to be competitive and may change over time. Comparing the overall value, including the clinical assessment, prescription review, delivery, and ongoing support, can help you choose the most suitable option.
- Orders are dispatched in discreet, temperature controlled packaging as standard for medicines that require cold chain handling.
- EveryDayMeds is a GPhC registered pharmacy, and prescription medicines are handled in line with MHRA requirements. These credentials can be verified independently.
