How We Verify GLP-1 Providers

Who gets listed

Regulated providers only: pharmacies registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and clinics registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), where a GMC-registered doctor or pharmacist independent prescriber runs a consultation before any prescription. We deliberately exclude no-prescription websites and social-media sellers — buying prescription medicine without a consultation is illegal and unsafe, and we will not route readers to it. Listing is free and cannot be bought.

How prices are verified

Every price is read from the provider’s own live pricing page — never copied from third-party comparison articles — and each price row on a profile links to the exact page it came from, with the date we checked. “From” prices are standing monthly prices: promotional first-month rates, weekly-equivalent marketing and discount codes are excluded. Prices change frequently; treat ours as a verified snapshot and confirm on the provider’s site before buying.

The Tiro Score

The score out of 5 is computed, not opined:

• Base: the review-count-weighted average of the provider’s Trustpilot and Google ratings (weight = log₁₀ of the review count, so 12 reviews can’t outvote 12,000).
• Minus 0.2 per provider-specific red flag — upheld ASA rulings, regulator enforcement, documented complaint patterns — capped at −0.6. Industry-wide context that applies to every provider is not penalised.
• Minus 0.1 if we could not verify a GPhC or CQC registration, and minus 0.1 if no prices are published with a checkable source.
• Providers with no independent reviews at all show “Not yet rated” — we never invent a number.

Trustpilot and Google figures are displayed with attribution as text. They are their platforms’ numbers, not ours, which is also why we don’t mark them up as structured-data ratings.

Our reviews

Each profile carries a written editorial review based on the provider’s published information, its regulator records and recurring themes across thousands of customer reviews. Negative findings are stated factually with the source named (for example, an ASA ruling reference) — never speculation.

Reader reviews

Provider profiles also accept reviews from readers. To keep them honest — and to meet the UK’s fake-review rules — every submission is checked by a person before it appears, we may contact reviewers to verify a genuine experience, and we remove anything fake, incentivised or written by the provider itself. Providers cannot pay to add, edit or remove reviews.

Independence

Tiro makes a tracking app; we sell no medication. This directory carries no affiliate links, no sponsored placement and no commission of any kind. Providers can report factual corrections via support; corrections are verified against sources before publishing, and providers cannot edit their own reviews or scores.

Medical note

This directory compares services — price, verification, delivery and service quality. It makes no claims about the medicines themselves and is not medical advice. Whether a GLP-1 medication is right for you is a decision for you and a qualified prescriber.
