Medicspot vs Boots Comparison

Medicspot combines clinically led weight loss treatment with real human support. You’ll get weekly GLP-1 injections (Wegovy or Mounjaro), a dedicated health coach, and a 16-week behaviour change course with nutrition tips built in. Unlike “pen-in-a-box” services, Medicspot offers weekly check-ins, meal feedback, a supportive WhatsApp community, and ongoing clinical monitoring – so it’s not just about losing weight, but building confidence and lasting change.

Boots Online Doctor starts with a 5-10 minute online consultation. A clinician reviews this and if appropriate, you can collect in-store or get home delivery. Boots also offers free education (a 10-week programme), a tracker app, webinars/podcasts, and optional 1-to-1 coaching.

Medicspot puts people first. You’ll have your own health coach for one-to-one guidance, weekly check-ins, and habit support. Join a private WhatsApp group for daily motivation, get practical nutrition advice, and benefit from monthly clinical reviews. You can adjust your dose – whether increasing, staying the same, reducing, or tapering down for maintenance – so your treatment stays effective and tailored to you.

Once you reach your goal, Medicspot continues to support you with six months of free coaching to help you maintain your progress and build lasting habits.

Boots leans on digital tools with optional upgrades. You get a free 10-week structured course, webinars/podcasts, and a weight-loss tracker app. If you want personalised coaching, Boots offers 1-to-1 coaching from about £32/month.

Both programmes prescribe medication under UK clinical standards.

Medicspot puts safety first. Their clinicians check your NHS Summary Care Record before prescribing, so decisions are made with your full medical history in mind. Once you start, your progress is reviewed monthly to monitor results, manage side effects, and adjust treatment if needed. When the time is right, they also support with tapering or maintenance plans. Plus, with their 5% weight loss guarantee, you’ll get a refund if you don’t see results in the first year. See terms for details.

Boots Online Doctor uses UK pharmacists to review your consultation (typically within 24 hours), prescribe if appropriate, and provide ongoing aftercare. Boots’ online-doctor service is CQC-regulated, with in-store pharmacy support available nationwide.

Medicspot keeps you motivated through people, not just apps. Your personal health coach provides one-to-one accountability, while a private WhatsApp group gives you daily encouragement, shared progress, and tips from other members, with coaches stepping in to guide when needed.

Boots keeps you motivated using its app and helpful content – a 10-week programme, tracker, webinars/podcasts. You also have the option to add paid 1-to-1 coaching, with the reassurance of in-store support.

This is where the two differ most.

Medicspot plans start from £99 per month, depending on the medication and dose. For example, Wegovy at the starter dose is £99 for four weeks, while Mounjaro 2.5mg is £149. Higher doses cost more. Their plans include the behaviour change course, nutrition support, dedicated health coach and community access.

Boots can be more or less expensive, depending on the dose. The Wegovy track runs from about £139 to £228.89/month depending on dose. The Mounjaro track starts at around £197/month.

Medicspot is a great fit if you want a more personal, clinician-led experience. You’ll have a named health coach, real people to talk to, and a supportive peer group – all at a lower starting price.

Boots Online Doctor suits people who prefer to have an in-person component to their support and care. It’s a great option if you prefer an app-first approach with flexible add-ons (like paid coaching) and the option to collect in-store.

Both Medicspot and Boots Online Doctor offer convenient, clinically supervised GLP-1 weight loss programmes. The difference comes down to support style and what’s bundled:

• Medicspot – human coaching and peer community built in.
• Boots – free education and app tools for everyone, optional paid coaching.

If you’d prefer a personalised, human-led plan with direct coach support, Medicspot may suit you. If you value app tools and Boots’ high-street presence, you may consider Boots Online Doctor.

Choose based on whether you prefer built-in human coaching (Medicspot) or app-first flexibility (Boots).

Do both programmes use the same injections?

Do they offer money-back guarantees?

Boots does not advertise a weight loss money-back guarantee. Medicspot promotes a results-oriented, human-coaching model. Check the provider’s current terms for any guarantees or refund policies that may apply to your plan.
