MedExpress

Fast, GPhC-registered online pharmacy with mixed reviews on communication and an unverified claim about prescribing checks.

Our review

MedExpress is a GPhC-registered online pharmacy (registration 9012633) selling Mounjaro and Wegovy pens after an online questionnaire, with prescribing handled by the CQC-regulated Central Medical Solutions Ltd; eligibility generally requires a BMI of 25+. Mounjaro starts at £179.99 for 2.5mg, rising to £309.99 for 15mg, while Wegovy runs from £99.99 (0.25mg) to £199.99 (2.4mg) per pen. On Trustpilot (4.2/5 from roughly 51,000 reviews), reviewers repeatedly praise the speed and reliability of delivery, but a recurring complaint theme involves communication delays — including multi-day gaps on issues flagged as urgent, leaving some patients anxious about running out of medication. MedExpress was also named, as reported by diabetes.co.uk citing a BBC investigation, alongside a competitor over claims about bypassed prescribing checks; this specific claim could not be independently verified against the original BBC reporting. Best for those prioritising fast delivery who are comfortable chasing up support themselves if problems arise.

What reviewers say

Praised

  • · Speed and efficiency of service generally praised
  • · Quick, reliable delivery frequently highlighted

Complained about

  • · Significant dissatisfaction reported by a subset of reviewers regarding order experience
  • · Communication delays cited, including multi-day gaps responding to 'urgent' issues
  • · Patient-reported stress around running out of medication while waiting on responses

Things to know

  • MedExpress was named alongside competitor 'Juniper' in a BBC investigation (reported via diabetes.co.uk, 19 June 2025) described as revealing that these online pharmacies 'bypassed rules' around weight-loss jab prescribing checks — this is a materially relevant finding but could not be independently verified against the original BBC article text in this session (bbc.co.uk was unreachable via automated fetch); flagged here as an unverified-but-credibly-sourced claim requiring a human follow-up read of the original BBC piece before publishing as fact.
  • Related sector coverage found in the same period: BBC piece "'Skinny jabs' too easy to order online, GP warns" and Medscape's "UK Watchdog Bans Ads for Prescription Weight-Loss Drugs" (Jul 2025) reflect wider regulatory/media scrutiny of this exact online-questionnaire prescribing model that MedExpress uses.
  • Complex, multi-entity corporate structure (separate companies for the retail brand, the pharmacy, and the CQC-regulated prescribing service, under a holding group) — not inherently wrongdoing, but worth noting for transparency.
