Who Dispenses Your Medicine, and How to Check Us

Who Dispenses Your Medicine, and How to Check Us
Medically reviewed by Ali Al Sibahi, Pharmacist Independent Prescriber (GPhC 2225108) · 16 September 2026

The Weight Clinic is the trading name of Salaam Health Ltd, company number 11452647, and your medicine is dispensed by our own pharmacy — North Harrow Pharmacy, 509 Pinner Road, North Harrow, Harrow HA2 6EH, which holds GPhC premises registration 1034996. Every name and number in this article appears on a public register, and you can look each one up yourself.

This is written for anyone deciding whether to trust an online weight-loss service with their health information and their money, and who would rather check than be reassured. We have a separate article on whether The Weight Clinic is legitimate; this one answers a narrower question — who physically holds and dispenses the medicine, who is personally accountable for the prescription, and how you can confirm both independently. Nothing here is medical advice.

Two names, two different jobs

Online healthcare in the UK normally involves more than one legal entity, and the names do different work. Knowing which is which is the first step in assessing any provider, including us.

Salaam Health Ltd is the company

Salaam Health Ltd operates The Weight Clinic. It is registered in England and Wales under company number 11452647, with its registered office at Devonshire House, 582 Honeypot Lane, Stanmore HA7 1JS. This is the entity you contract with and the entity that takes payment. Company registration proves a business legally exists and shows who runs it. On its own, it proves nothing about permission to supply prescription-only medicines.

North Harrow Pharmacy is the registered premises

North Harrow Pharmacy, 509 Pinner Road, North Harrow, Harrow HA2 6EH, is where prescriptions for The Weight Clinic are dispensed. It holds General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) premises registration 1034996. It is our own pharmacy: a registered premises with a fixed address and a superintendent pharmacist accountable for it, not a third-party dispenser. Your prescription is dispensed there and dispatched from there by Royal Mail Tracked 24 with Signature, in discreet packaging.

The distinction matters because the two registrations answer different questions. A company number tells you the business is real. The GPhC premises registration tells you the place that handles your medicine is regulated and inspectable, and that a named pharmacist carries legal responsibility for how it operates. A website that shows you only a brand name, or only a company number, has given you the less important half. You can read more about how the two fit together on our about the clinic page.

The named people responsible for your prescription

Regulation in UK pharmacy attaches to people, not just organisations. These are the individuals accountable for the clinical side of The Weight Clinic, each with the GPhC number you can use to look them up.

The superintendent pharmacist is the person legally responsible for the way the registered pharmacy operates. Your consultation is with a pharmacist independent prescriber from the list above, and a prescriber reviews your case and electronically signs the prescription if one is appropriate. Himani Narendra is the dispensing pharmacist at the registered premises.

The chain your order follows

Accountability is easier to judge when you can see where an order goes and who handles it. This is the sequence for a first order, from the questionnaire to the parcel.

  • You complete the online questionnaire. It is free, and it asks for weight, height, BMI and sex first, with your contact details last.
  • Eligibility rules are applied by the system rather than by a salesperson.
  • You verify your identity with photo ID before a first treatment. If you are switching from another provider, you upload evidence of your current dose.
  • You book and attend a 10-minute video consultation with a named pharmacist independent prescriber.
  • A prescriber reviews the case and electronically signs a prescription. An order can be declined, and a declined order is refunded.
  • The prescription is dispensed at North Harrow Pharmacy and sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 with Signature, in discreet packaging.

Doses move one step at a time — your current dose, one step up, or one step down — and switching between medicines follows published dose-equivalence rules. Someone transferring in who evidences a higher dose may be continued at it. You can start the questionnaire from our online consultation page, and the wider safety picture is covered in our article on whether online weight-loss injections are safe in the UK.

Since 27 July 2026, orders have gone out as Royal Mail tracked parcels.

After your order arrives, you can message the clinical team from your patient account, attach photos, report side effects, and ask for a prescriber dose review before a reorder is dispatched. A prescriber can also place an order on hold and request more information, which blocks dispatch until you answer.

How to check all of this yourself

Every registration above sits on a public register, so none of it depends on taking our word for it.

The pharmacy and the pharmacists

The General Pharmaceutical Council keeps public registers of pharmacy premises and of pharmacy professionals at pharmacyregulation.org. The register is searchable by pharmacy name, town or registration number, so you can look up premises registration 1034996, or North Harrow Pharmacy, or each of the GPhC numbers in the table above. If anything we publish ever disagrees with the register, the register is the authority, and we would want to know — you can tell us through our contact page.

The company

For the company, search the Companies House register on GOV.UK for company number 11452647. That is Salaam Health Ltd, registered in England and Wales, with its registered office at Devonshire House, 582 Honeypot Lane, Stanmore HA7 1JS. A company number that resolves to the same name and the same registered office as the website publishes is a basic, meaningful check.

The data protection registration

Salaam Health Ltd is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under reference ZA791809, which you can look up on the ICO's public register. Any service handling your weight, your health history and your identity documents should be registered.

Warning signs worth checking on any site

The broader question of how to judge an online weight-loss service is covered in the separate article linked at the top of this page. On the narrow question this one deals with — who holds and dispenses the medicine, and who is accountable for it — these are the things worth checking before you enter any health information anywhere.

  • No GPhC premises registration number, or a number that does not resolve to a pharmacy at the address given.
  • No named superintendent pharmacist and no named prescribers, only a brand, a logo and a contact form.
  • Registration numbers you cannot find on the register at all.
  • No UK address for the pharmacy that dispenses, or an address that is only a mailbox.
  • Prescription-only medicine you can add to a basket and buy with no clinical assessment at all.

What you pay, and what the price covers

Our prices are the catalogue price of the medicine plus £5 tracked delivery per order, charged separately, and the questionnaire is free to complete. The current list is on our treatments page.

Frequently asked questions

Who actually dispenses my medicine?

North Harrow Pharmacy, 509 Pinner Road, North Harrow, Harrow HA2 6EH, which holds GPhC premises registration 1034996. It is our own registered pharmacy, not a third-party fulfilment company, and your order is dispensed and dispatched from there by Royal Mail Tracked 24 with Signature in discreet packaging.

Why is the company name different from the pharmacy name?

Because they are two different things. Salaam Health Ltd (company number 11452647) is the company that operates The Weight Clinic and takes your payment. North Harrow Pharmacy is the GPhC-registered premises that dispenses the medicine. The company registration shows the business is real; the GPhC registration shows the dispensing is regulated. A trustworthy service should be able to give you both.

How do I check a pharmacist's registration myself?

The GPhC register at pharmacyregulation.org is searchable by pharmacy name, town or registration number, so you can look up premises registration 1034996 and each GPhC number published above yourself — for example 2027876 for our superintendent pharmacist, Andrew Lane. If what the register shows ever disagrees with what we publish, the register is the authority.

Can I buy the medicine without the clinical assessment?

No. These are prescription-only medicines, so treatment can only follow a prescriber's assessment. You complete a free questionnaire, verify your identity, and have a 10-minute video consultation with a named pharmacist independent prescriber before any first prescription can be signed. If you are switching from another provider, you also need to upload evidence of your current dose.

How is the medicine sent to me?

By Royal Mail Tracked 24 with Signature, in discreet packaging, dispatched from North Harrow Pharmacy. Delivery is £5 per order and is charged separately from the price of the medicine.
