How we work
Editorial & Clinical Review Policy
Monj publishes UK weight-loss medicine pricing data and patient-facing health guidance. This page explains who writes our content, who reviews it, how prices are gathered and checked, how we correct mistakes, and the commercial boundaries that protect what you read.
Our editorial principles
No pharmacy, clinic or manufacturer can buy a ranking, a rating or a place in our comparison tables. Commercial arrangements never influence position or editorial content.
Monj does not sell, prescribe or dispense medicines, and does not provide medical advice. We publish information; your prescriber, pharmacist and NHS services provide care.
Health guidance is built from the UK patient information leaflet, the Summary of Product Characteristics, MHRA safety communications and NHS guidance, cited on the page.
Where a symptom could be serious, we route people to 999, NHS 111, or their prescriber rather than keeping them reading. We never diagnose.
Where evidence is absent or contested, we say so plainly instead of implying certainty. We do not present anecdote as data.
Mistakes are fixed promptly and material corrections are logged on the page itself, with the date, rather than quietly edited away.
Who writes and who reviews
Different content needs different expertise. We match reviewers to the specific area they are qualified in, and we state the limits of each review rather than implying a blanket clinical endorsement.
| Content type | Written by | Reviewed by |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing data & comparison tables | Monj pricing analysis team | Independent prescription pricing analyst |
| Patient safety routing & escalation guidance | Monj editorial team | NMC-registered midwife named reviewer to be published |
| Pregnancy, contraception & postnatal content | Monj editorial team | NMC-registered midwife named reviewer to be published |
| Medicine-specific clinical detail (dosing, interactions, side-effect frequencies) | Monj editorial team, from primary UK sources | Pharmacist or prescriber review being arranged |
| Pharmacy verification & regulatory checks | Monj editorial team | Checked against the GPhC and CQC public registers |
How we gather and verify prices
- Identify the providerProviders must be operating legally in the UK and be identifiable on the GPhC register, or the appropriate register for their service type, before they are listed.
- Record the all-in checkout totalWe record what a patient actually pays at checkout, including consultation and delivery where these are charged, rather than a headline figure that excludes them.
- Separate one-off offers from ongoing costFirst-order welcome codes are shown as what they are. We keep them distinct from the price you would pay every month afterwards.
- Re-check on a rolling basisPrices change frequently. Listings are re-checked on a rolling schedule and after any provider or market change we become aware of.
- Publish without ranking for paymentOrdering is driven by the data, not by commercial relationships.
Full detail of the pricing methodology is set out in how our pricing works and how Monj works.
How we handle health content
Sourced from UK originals
We use the UK patient information leaflet, Summary of Product Characteristics, MHRA safety updates and NHS guidance, and link them so you can check us.
Dated and re-reviewed
Health guides carry a checked date and a next scheduled review date. We review sooner if UK product information or MHRA advice changes.
No diagnosis, ever
Our tools help you decide who to contact. They never tell you what is wrong with you, and they never replace clinical assessment.
Corrections and complaints
If something on Monj is wrong, we want to know. Report it through our contact page and tell us the page and what looks incorrect.
| Type of issue | What we aim to do |
|---|---|
| Safety-critical error | Correct or remove as a priority as soon as it is verified, ahead of all other work. |
| Incorrect price or provider detail | Re-check against the provider and correct the listing. |
| Factual or typographical error | Corrected on the next editorial pass. |
| Material change to a health guide | Corrected and recorded in the change log shown on that page. |
Commercial transparency
Monj is operated by Medstack Ltd, which also operates iGovy.co.uk, Ogovy.co.uk and Frayo.co.uk, and supports the Monjour patient community. Monj is not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any pharmacy, clinic or pharmaceutical manufacturer, and is not an authorised distributor of any medicine. Where we earn revenue, it never determines ranking, inclusion or editorial content. Our full position is set out in our independence statement, and our commitment to donate a share of yearly profits is set out in our charity pledge.
