Prescription Doctor review
The only provider in this research that publishes BMI eligibility thresholds for every medication it sells.
Overview
Prescription Doctor does the thing everyone else omits: it states the BMI criteria per drug. Mounjaro and Wegovy require “a BMI of +30kg/m²” or “a BMI of 27 or more who have at least one weight-related condition.” Saxenda, orlistat and Xenical are listed at “a BMI of 28 or more,” as is Alli. Across more than seventy services reviewed here, published BMI thresholds appear almost nowhere else.
The range is the widest we found anywhere: Mounjaro from £169.99, Wegovy from £109.99, the Wegovy pill from £115.00, Saxenda from £64.99, Nevolat from £64.99, Mysimba from £109.99, Xenical and orlistat from £21.99, Alli at £59.99, and Foundayo. Ten products with prices attached.
The trade is depth of care. Prescribing is “online prescription — no doctor visit,” with a prescriber reviewing and issuing. Next-day discreet delivery is offered. No consultation fee, no ongoing support and no cancellation terms are stated — this is dispensing, not a programme.
