How It Works

What is Pharmacy Price Hound and how does it help me find the cheapest prescription medications?

Pharmacy Price Hound is a comparison tool that scans fully regulated UK online pharmacies in real time so you can spot the lowest available price on your medication, including prescription charges and first time user discounts.

How do I compare pharmacy prices using Pharmacy Price Hound?

Simply search for the medication or treatment you’re looking for, and we’ll list current offers from multiple UK pharmacies. You can see who has the cheapest price, click through to order, and go to the consultation only with the one you choose.

Do I need a prescription before using Pharmacy Price Hound?

No, you don’t need one to browse or compare. When you choose a pharmacy, their own online doctor or prescriber will review your order before it’s approved.

Can I compare prices for weight loss injections like Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Yes. These are some of our most searched treatments. You can easily see where to buy Mounjaro or Wegovy online in the UK, and which pharmacy has the lowest total cost. We compare prices across every available dosage, so you can see the cost for the exact strength you’re looking, for example starting doses like 0.25 mg, right through to higher maintenance doses.

Do you compare prices of different drugs or treatments against each other?

No, we don’t compare one medicine against another. Every treatment has its own specific use, and it wouldn’t be safe or responsible to suggest that one drug can replace another based on price alone. Our comparisons only show price differences between licensed UK pharmacies for the same approved medication, so you can choose safely and confidently.

Safety, Regulations & Trust

Are all the pharmacies listed on your site regulated in the UK?

Yes. We only list pharmacies registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council and verified by the MHRA.

Is it safe to order medicines online through your comparison?

Absolutely. All pharmacies we show follow strict UK safety rules. Your consultation and medicine supply are handled directly by the licensed pharmacy you choose.

How can I tell if a pharmacy is legitimate?

Each listing includes registration details and links to the GPhC register so you can check for yourself that it’s a real, regulated business.

Are the medicines you list safe to take?

Yes, absolutely. Every medicine shown on Pharmacy Price Hound comes from a fully regulated UK pharmacy. These pharmacies are registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and source their medicines directly from licensed UK suppliers. You’ll always complete a short consultation with the pharmacy before you order, so a qualified prescriber can check that the treatment is suitable for you. That way, you can be confident the medicine you receive is both safe and genuine.

Are generic medicines as safe as branded ones, and do you include them in your comparisons?

Yes, generic medicines are just as safe and effective as the branded versions. They contain the same active ingredient, go through the same strict quality checks, and are approved by the MHRA before they can be sold in the UK. We include generics in our comparisons whenever they’re available, because they offer the same medical results at a lower price. Choosing a trusted generic can often save you money without any difference in safety or effectiveness – it’s simply a more affordable way to get the same treatment.

Do you track pharmacy reviews or Trustpilot scores?

Yes. We track and display each pharmacy’s Trustpilot rating right alongside their listing. It’s a quick way to see how other customers rate their service and delivery.

Our Prices

Are the prices on Pharmacy Price Hound up to date?

Yes. We update our prices every day using a mix of manual checks and help from our community. Pharmacies often change their pricing or run short term offers, so our team monitors and refreshes listings daily. That means when you compare pharmacy prices on our site, you’re seeing the most accurate and current deals available in the UK.

How do you show new user discounts?

Most pharmacies offer special first-time buyer discounts, and we make it clear when that applies. On our site, you can toggle between “Full Price” and “Discount Price” to see what new customers pay. These offers are usually one-time only, meaning you can claim them the first time you order from that pharmacy. It’s a quick way to spot if a new user deal makes one option cheaper overall.

Why do pharmacies offer new user discounts?

Most pharmacies use new user discounts to get you in the door. They know that once you’ve gone through the consultation process and shared personal details, you’re less likely to switch next time,  especially with treatments that some people find private or sensitive, like weight loss injections or ED medication. Pharmacy Price Hound exists to make those tactics less effective – by showing every offer side by side, so you can see who’s really giving you the best deal without the bait and switch.

What if a pharmacy uses a discount code, how do I use it?

If a pharmacy needs a code, we show it right next to the price. You can copy it with one click and paste it at checkout on the pharmacy’s site. Some discounts apply automatically when you click through, but most codes are one-time use for new customers.

Why do prices vary between pharmacies?

Some pharmacies simply charge more because they can. There’s no fixed price for most private prescriptions in the UK, so pharmacies set their own, and a few take advantage of that. That’s exactly why Pharmacy Price Hound exists: to make those differences visible so you don’t end up overpaying.

Do you show pharmacies that offer a price match promise?

Yes. If a pharmacy offers a price match or lowest price promise, we highlight it on their listing so you can spot it easily. These offers are run by the pharmacies themselves, so if you want to use one, you’ll usually need to contact them directly to have the price matched or confirmed.

Privacy & Data

Do you see my medical information?

No, we never see or store your medical details. Your consultation and prescription information stay entirely between you and the pharmacy you choose. We just show you the prices and links; the private health information never touches our system.

Who handles my consultation details?

Only the pharmacy you choose. When you click through from Pharmacy Price Hound, you’re taken directly to their secure site to complete your consultation. It’s reviewed by their own prescribers under the same rules as any registered UK pharmacy.

Is my data shared with pharmacies?

No. We don’t pass your information to anyone. Until you actually start a consultation on a pharmacy’s website, they don’t even know you’ve viewed their listing.

Do you use cookies or tracking?

Like most sites, we use cookies to help improve the site and see which pages people find useful. But we don’t track personal health data or link browsing to individual medical searches. You can control or clear cookies at any time in your browser settings.

Can I delete my data or unsubscribe from alerts?

Yes, anytime. We only store the details needed to send you price drop alerts; for example, if you’ve subscribed to be notified when Mounjaro is at its cheapest price. You can unsubscribe or delete your data instantly from any email we send, and we never store or share anything medical.
