What Webmed Pharmacy does

Webmed Pharmacy Ltd is a UK-licensed online pharmacy (GPhC 9011118, CQC registered, MHRA-approved) operating from Wilmslow, Cheshire since 2014, dispensing prescription and over-the-counter medications directly to UK consumers. The service is built around an online medical consultation platform: patients complete a condition-specific questionnaire reviewed by a small team of GMC-registered doctors (Dr Kate Antrobus, Dr Helen Butler) and pharmacists (Superintendent Pharmacist Margaret Hudson, Clinical Lead Sabina Khan), who then issue electronic prescriptions fulfilled from the company's registered pharmacy. The product catalogue is concentrated in sensitive-health verticals where patients prefer discretion over a GP visit: erectile dysfunction (Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Cialis, Viagra, Spedra, Vardenafil, Eroxon), male pattern hair loss (Finasteride, Propecia, Minoxidil, Tony Maleedy bundles), weight management (Wegovy pen and tablet, Mounjaro KwikPen, Saxenda, Nevolat generic liraglutide, Orlistat/Xenical/alli/Orlos), women's health (morning-after pill, Norethisterone period delay, cystitis antibiotics), acne (Differin, Epiduo, Duac), and a full STI test kit and treatment range. Supporting products include the 5 Pillars of Support wellness programme and free Saturday wellness coaching sessions.

The technology stack is pragmatic rather than proprietary: a custom e-commerce front end, electronic prescribing integrated with the consultation workflow, SagePay/PayPal/card payment processing, and a courier integration with DPD that supports next-working-day delivery in 1-hour time slots to mainland UK and access to 9,500+ DPD pickup stores, with Royal Mail Special Delivery covering the Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Isle of Man. Temperature-controlled packaging is used for cold-chain GLP-1 injectables. No public APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML components are disclosed; the platform runs on a small team of under 10 people and on standard e-commerce and logistics integrations.

Commercially, Webmed combines pay-as-you-go unit pricing for most lines (e.g., Sildenafil from £1.55/tablet, Norethisterone from £22 for 30 tablets) with a subscription-style monthly billing model on weight-loss programmes where multi-pen volume discounts apply (Saxenda at £73.80-£85 per pen, Wegovy from £99 to £249 per 4-week supply). Pricing is all-inclusive: free prescriptions and free delivery are bundled into headline prices. GTM is direct-to-consumer, driven by SEO/content marketing on condition pages, Trustpilot reviews, and organic social. There is no disclosed revenue, no funding history, and no parent company; ownership remains private and undisclosed beyond the named clinical leadership.
