How we're regulated

Everything on this page is checkable. If a health service won't tell you who is accountable and where they are based, that's the thing to worry about.

Protocol design Escalations General practice

Why we ask so many questions

A questionnaire is not paperwork. It's the only way a prescriber who can't examine you can decide whether a medicine is safe for you.

See the assessment

Assessment before options

You answer questions first, then see what's suitable. We don't show you a shop of prescription medicines and ask you to pick.

Preference, not prescription

You can tell us what you'd prefer. The prescriber decides with you, and may substitute or decline.

Paid only on approval

If we can't supply, you're refunded in full and told why, with somewhere else to go.

Your GP in the loop

For higher-risk treatments we ask for your GP details and consent to share. It's safer when everyone treating you knows what you take.

Reviews

Our reviews cover the service - how quickly we responded, how discreet the delivery was, how helpful the team were. We don't publish reviews about how a medicine performed, because that isn't something we're allowed to advertise, and one person's experience of a medicine tells you nothing reliable about yours.

We're newly launched online, so there are no published reviews yet. Every review will come through an independent verified-review platform, unedited - including the ones where we said no.

Delivery

Free tracked standard

On every order, no minimum. Usually next working day if dispensed before 3pm.

Named day or express

Available at checkout for a fee, where the treatment allows it.

Plain packaging

No branding, no medicine name, nothing on the outside that says what's inside or where it came from.

Cold chain

Temperature-controlled packaging for treatments that need it, with delivery timed so nothing sits on a doorstep.

If something goes wrong

Tell us and we'll investigate properly. Complaints go to the Superintendent Pharmacist, not a support queue.

1. Tell us

Email help@yip.co.uk or call 0808 169 9594. Include your order reference if you have one.

2. We acknowledge in 2 working days

With the name of the person handling it.

3. Full response within 10 working days

Longer only if a clinical review is needed, and we'll tell you if so.

4. If you're still not satisfied

You can escalate to the General Pharmaceutical Council. We'll give you the details rather than make you look for them.

Report a side effect

Tell us, and report it to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme too - that's how safety warnings like the 2025 finasteride advice come about in the first place.

If you are seriously unwell, don't wait for us. Call 111, or 999 in an emergency.
