Question 2

Are the medications safe?

All medications listed on MedsLens are MHRA-approved. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new medication. We are not medical advisors — we simply help you compare pharmacy prices.

Question 3

Are the pharmacies verified?

Accepted Answer

Every pharmacy listed on MedsLens is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). We manually verify each pharmacy's registration, physical stock, and corporate background before listing them.

Question 4

Do you sell medication?

No. MedsLens is an independent comparison service. We don't sell, prescribe, or dispense any medications. We help you find the best prices so you can purchase directly from your chosen pharmacy.

Question 5

How often are prices updated?

Accepted Answer

Our scraping system checks pharmacy prices every 24 hours. Prices shown are accurate as of the last check — the timestamp is displayed on each pharmacy card.

Can I get a discount?

Accepted Answer

Many pharmacies offer discount codes and first-time buyer offers. Where available, we display these directly on the pharmacy card. Some pharmacies also offer subscription discounts for ongoing treatment.
