SOURCES

Every source
we cite.

Start with official guidance and the new pharmacy’s own policy. A link to a source does not mean the source endorses Pharmacy Hopper.

Accessed 6 October 2026 · External source

Each provider policy applies only to the service named. The date a page was published and the date we read it (the access date) are different.

How the price comparison sites check prices and providers

Each link is the site owner’s own account of how its checks work. None of these pages proves an independent audit (an outside check) of every listing.

Provider discount offers and subscription terms

Checked 6 October 2026. Your real price and how you cancel depend on the plan you signed up to and what your current provider confirms.

Sources for the referral savings guides

Our worked examples use our own made-up sums to show the maths. The guides keep our advice apart from each provider’s published policy. These sources also back our guide on why you can switch pharmacy every month and pay the new-customer price.

Sources on dose changes and gaps in treatment

UK medicine information, NICE guidance and the named provider’s policy, checked 6 October 2026. The guides keep the maker’s instructions, medical guidance and each provider’s own process apart.

Sources for switching from MedExpress, Voy, Numan, Pharmacy2U and Juniper

Provider instructions checked 6 October 2026. Our written examples show how the process works. They are not live quotes.
