How we check weight-loss information

Before information appears on a page, we check where it came from, whether it can change and what visitors still need to confirm. Treatment facts, provider service details, prices, safety information and commercial disclosure are kept separate so the comparison stays balanced.

Treatment, provider, cost and safety are checked separately

A treatment name on its own rarely tells enough. We separate medicine facts from provider service, cost basis and safety information so readers can see which differences are clinical, practical, commercial or likely to change.

Treatment facts

Active ingredient, format, dose or pack details, access type and treatment-specific safety questions.

Provider service

Assessment details, responsible pharmacy, clinic or prescriber, delivery, follow-up, switching and restart information.

Cost basis

Price shown, dose or pack size, delivery fees, public code context, repeat costs and when the price was reviewed.

Safety information

Provider identity, regulator or register details, contact details, realistic claims and clear medical caveats.

How a page is checked

From source to published comparison

This is the plain-English version of the workflow. It is deliberately cautious because prescription medicine, provider pricing and access information can all change.

Step 1

Gather visible information

Provider pages, official guidance, public registers and specialist treatment data are reviewed for the specific claim being made.

Step 2

Separate the claim type

Treatment facts, prices, provider service details, safety information and commercial links are checked as different kinds of information.

Step 3

Add review dates

Changing details such as prices, offers, delivery and provider information need dates so readers know when they were last reviewed.

Step 4

Write with boundaries

Pages avoid pressure, suitability promises and price-only rankings. The reader should know what still needs clinical assessment.

Step 5

Correct and update

When a material issue is found, the relevant page, data row or source note is checked and updated where needed.

Changing details

Each changing detail needs a source, review date and caveat

Prices, offers, availability, eligibility details and delivery details can change. When a detail may affect a decision, we look for where it came from, when it was reviewed and what it cannot prove on its own.

1

Source

Provider pages, official sources, public registers and specialist treatment research are labelled or described differently because they answer different questions.

2

Review date

Prices, delivery details, offers and eligibility details need visible review dates where that information can change.

3

Caveat

A comparison can explain information and caveats, but suitability still depends on assessment by a regulated healthcare professional.

Sources

The source has to match the claim

A safety statement, a price, a provider identity check and an NHS access explanation are not the same kind of information. Each needs the right source and a clear caveat where details can change.

Official health and regulator information

NHS, NICE, MHRA, ASA/CAP and GPhC sources support access, safety, advertising, pharmacy-service and eligibility explanations.

Provider websites

Provider pages show current details for treatments, checks, delivery, prices, support and offer terms.

Public registers

Regulator and professional registers help verify the pharmacy, clinic, company or prescriber behind a service.

Specialist comparison data

Mounjaro and Wegovy research helps explain treatment-specific provider, dose and review details where extra depth is useful.

Prices

Headline prices need the details around them

A low price can be useful, but only if the basis is clear. Dose, pack size, delivery, consultation details, public code context, repeat costs, support and availability can all change the real comparison.

Shown on this site

Visible provider prices, treatment names, delivery information, review dates, offer caveats and links to relevant provider or treatment pages.

Confirm with the provider

Current price, fees, availability, eligibility questions, delivery timing, support and whether the treatment is suitable for you.

Cost and treatment details being compared calmly
Editorial boundaries

Prescription medicine comparison needs a calmer standard

Suitability depends on clinical assessment, so provider differences should be explained without pressure, urgency or unsupported certainty. We also check how public-facing pages describe treatment and services against UK medicine advertising and online-pharmacy guidance, including MHRA, ASA/CAP and GPhC sources.

Pressure language

We avoid copy that makes prescription treatment feel automatic, urgent or certain.

Price-only rankings

A low headline price is not enough to call a provider better than another.

Mixed signals

Sourced facts, editorial explanation and commercial relationships need to be easy to tell apart.

Unsupported claims

Weight-loss, safety and suitability claims need careful explanation and appropriate source context.

Review and correction

Review dates and corrections keep comparisons honest

Pages change when information, sources or page copy change. We update unclear copy, add caveats where they are missing and correct material issues when they are found.

Review dates

Changing information should show a review date where the date matters to the comparison.

Corrections

If a provider, reader or source highlights a material issue, we check the relevant page and update it where needed.

Changing details

Prices, offers, availability, eligibility details, delivery and support can change after a page is reviewed.
