THE SHORT VERSION
- SlimBee is a UK information website, not a pharmacy or clinic.
- We link to sources and explain where prices come from.
- You can read a short version first, then explore the detail.
Why we’re here
Sometimes the hardest part is working out where to begin. A medicine name appears in the news. A friend mentions a treatment. You search for one answer and find a dozen opinions, prices and unfamiliar words.
SlimBee brings the useful pieces together: what a medicine is, which questions to ask, what needs a healthcare professional’s attention and where to check the original information. You can read a quick summary first, then go deeper when you feel ready.
What you can expect from us
Plain English, respectful language and a clear distinction between information and advice. Weight is affected by health, medicines, circumstances and everyday life. We do not treat it as a test of willpower, and we do not promise a particular result.
You will find links to primary sources such as the NHS, MHRA, NICE and medicine leaflets. A source link lets you check the full context and any later updates.
The people behind the words
Content is published under SlimBee editorial. This identifies the publishing site; it is not a medical qualification. We do not claim that every page has been independently signed off by a clinician. Personal decisions about diagnosis, dose, starting, switching or stopping treatment belong with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Where the prices come from
Our comparison tables use the public Monj network data sources also used by Mango Market. We sort the listed prices numerically and send every price-link click to Monj. We do not sell or dispense a medicine, and we cannot guarantee an offer or approve a prescription.
Read how we compare prices for the source, collection dates, ranking rules and limits. Monj explains any referral arrangements on its own website.
