Medicspot vs Phlo Clinic 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.

Phlo Clinic is an online pharmacy. You begin with a brief online consultation to confirm your eligibility. Then UK-registered pharmacists review your medical history and prescribe the most suitable weight loss medication if you qualify. The chosen medication is dispensed monthly and sent via free tracked delivery.

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.

Phlo Clinic offers remote, self-directed support. Your primary touchpoint is routine follow-ups with the prescribing pharmacists. There is no dedicated coach – instead, patients are encouraged to engage with the Phlo Nourish education series for nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Phlo also provides a patient care team that can be contacted seven days a week for questions.

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.

Phlo Clinic prescribing is handled by UK-registered pharmacists and clinicians. All Phlo consultations and prescriptions follow MHRA (UK drug regulator) standards, and every case is reviewed by GPhC‑registered prescribing pharmacists. Monthly check-ins allow Phlo to adjust doses and keep track of safety. Phlo does not advertise a specific weight loss money back guarantee.

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.

Phlo Clinic takes a different tack. It does not include a live peer support group. Instead, motivation comes through structured education. The Phlo Nourish programme focuses on realistic life situations: it helps you navigate celebrations and holidays, handle weight loss plateaus, and find non-scale victories to stay motivated.

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.

Phlo Clinic is generally cheaper. The Wegovy track runs from about £119 to £199/month depending on dose. The Mounjaro track starts at around £169/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.

Phlo Clinic may appeal if you’re self-motivated and are more budget conscious. You may prefer Phlo if you like structured online resources.

Both Medicspot and Phlo Clinic offer clinician-led GLP-1 weight loss programmes in the UK. The main difference is style and structure: Medicspot is more personal and human-centric (with coaches and groups) while Phlo offers structured education and is often cheaper.

Which programme offers more personalised support?

Both provide medical supervision, but Medicspot emphasises personal human support. Medicspot assigns you a dedicated health coach and offers weekly check-ins and a WhatsApp peer group. Phlo’s support is delivered by online resources – you get access to Phlo Nourish videos and Q&A webinars, but no personal coach or peer chat.

Do they prescribe the same weight loss injections?
Yes. Both Medicspot and Phlo Clinic routinely prescribe the main GLP-1 medications approved in the UK – Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for eligible patients.

Do they offer money-back guarantees?
Medicspot guarantees that you will lose at least 5% of your body weight in the first year, or you can claim a refund (conditions apply). Phlo Clinic does not offer a specific weight loss guarantee.
