Answers to Your Questions.

Starting a health journey can feel like a big step, and you may have a few questions. This page brings together clear answers on how foundry works, from your clinical consultation to memberships and delivery.

FAQs

Do I need a consultation before ordering?

Yes, you do.

To ensure your safety and suitability for treatment, every new customer must complete a digital health assessment that is then clinically reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber.

This is a required step to ensure we can provide you with the best and safest care for your needs.

Is the consultation included in the product price?

No. The consultation is a professional service, and the fee is handled separately from any medication costs.

With a Forge membership, your annual membership fee covers all consultations and prescribing services. If you choose to pay-as-you-go, you will be charged a prescribing service fee each time you order.

Can I get treatment without becoming a member?

Yes, you can.

We offer two ways to get treatment: our Forge membership or our pay-as-you-go option.

With our pay-as-you-go service, you pay for your professional service fees each time you order.

Our Forge membership is designed for long-term consistency and predictability, with one annual fee that covers all your professional service fees. As a member, you also save over 25% on these fees compared to paying per order.

What’s the difference between membership and one-off orders?

We offer two options to ensure you can choose a path that is right for you.

Forge Membership
This is our most popular option, designed for long-term support and predictability. For a single annual fee, your professional service and prescribing fees are covered. This provides a clear, predictable cost and, for most customers, results in savings of over 25% compared to paying for one-off orders.

Pay-As-You-Go Orders
This option gives you complete flexibility. You simply pay a professional service fee each time you reorder. It's a great choice if you prefer not to commit to an annual membership or are still determining if the service is right for you.

How does the consultation work?

The consultation is a simple, secure, and professional process designed to ensure your safety and provide the right care.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Complete a Digital Health Assessment: You'll fill out a short, confidential online form. This helps our prescribers understand your medical history and health goals.
  2. Clinical Review: Your information is then quickly reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber. This is a crucial step to determine if you are clinically suitable for treatment.
  3. Prescription or Plan: If you are deemed clinically suitable, our prescriber will issue a prescription and a personalised treatment plan for you.
Where do you source your medication from?

This is an important question. We understand that trust and safety are your top priorities.

All medication is sourced and dispensed by a UK-based pharmacy that is fully regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). This ensures that every product you receive is genuine and of the highest quality.

How will my order be delivered?

Your order will be delivered quickly and discreetly.

All orders are sent in plain, unbranded packaging to protect your privacy. You will receive tracking details via email so you can follow your order's journey to your door.

What if I'm taking other medications?

It's very important to tell us about all medications you are currently taking, as this is a key part of your safety review. The digital health assessment you complete will ask you for this information.

A UK-registered prescriber will review your medical history and all of your medications to ensure that there are no unsafe drug interactions and that the treatment is clinically suitable for you.

How do I know if I'm eligible for treatment?

Eligibility is determined by a thorough clinical review. When you complete your digital health assessment, a UK-registered prescriber will review your information, including your medical history and current medications, to ensure you are clinically suitable for treatment.

Do I have to share my medical history?

Yes. Sharing your medical history is a required and critical step to ensure your safety.

The digital health assessment you complete will ask for this information so a UK-registered prescriber can conduct a thorough clinical review. All of your information is handled with complete confidentiality and care.

What happens if I'm not suitable for a prescription?

Our prescribers prioritize your safety above all else. If you are deemed not clinically suitable, you will be notified and guided on the next steps.

This decision is always made in your best interest and is based on a professional review of your health assessment.

What happens after my consultation?

Once you submit your health assessment, our clinical team works quickly to review your information. A UK-registered prescriber will then create a personalised plan based on your needs.

You'll receive an email with the outcome of your consultation and details on how to proceed. Once any final steps are complete, your order will be prepared and shipped to you.

Our medical team is here to support you throughout your journey. If you experience any side effects, please contact us immediately at support@myfoundry.co.uk.

This ongoing support is a key benefit of a Forge membership, ensuring you have the guidance you need to succeed.

Can I contact my prescriber directly?

No, all communication is handled through our dedicated support team.
