SAFE, TRACKED UK DELIVERY
Iris Health is a specialist pharmacy for the safe delivery of prescribed GLP-1 weight loss medicines. Every prescription is checked by a GPhC-registered pharmacist, and refrigerated medication travels in validated cold-chain packaging from our fridge to your door.
We dispense and deliver licensed treatments against a valid NHS or private prescription.
HOME DELIVERY
Yes. Prescribed GLP-1 weight loss medicines can be delivered to your home by a GPhC-registered pharmacy that maintains the required cold chain. Iris Health provides tracked delivery and accepts valid prescriptions from registered UK prescribers.
NHS PATHWAY
We accept NHS prescriptions issued through specialist weight management services or eligible shared-care arrangements, liaising with the NHS prescriber so the prescription is in order before dispensing.
PRIVATE PATHWAY
We accept private prescriptions from registered online weight loss clinics and specialist prescribers. Our pharmacist team handles dispensing and contacts the prescriber directly if a clinical query arises.
Iris Health is a dispensing pharmacy, not a prescribing service. If you do not yet have a prescription, speak to a registered prescriber or regulated weight loss clinic first.
PRESCRIPTION TO DOORSTEP
Sent electronically, by post or from your clinic. We confirm receipt and log it on our clinical system.
We check prescriber registration, patient details, medication, strength, dose and quantity before proceeding.
A registered pharmacist reviews clinical appropriateness and contacts the prescriber if a query needs resolving.
Medication is accuracy-checked and placed in validated 2–8°C cold-chain packaging with a discreet outer layer.
You receive a dispatch notification and live tracking link by SMS and email.
A signature is required on receipt and confirmation is sent to you and, where relevant, your clinic.
