MedExpress treatment pricing is designed to be clear and transparent, so patients understand the total cost before placing an order.

Overview

This article explains:

  • Whether VAT applies to prescription medication

  • What additional fees may be included

  • How final prices are shown at checkout

VAT on prescription medication

In the UK:

  • Most prescription medicines are zero-rated for VAT.

  • This means no VAT is added to the medication price itself.

Fees that may affect the total price

Some optional or service-related costs may apply, such as:

  • Delivery charges, depending on the selected delivery option

  • Optional add-on items chosen during checkout

Any additional cost is shown clearly before payment is completed.

Transparent pricing at checkout

Before confirming an order, MedExpress displays:

  • The treatment price

  • Any delivery or optional costs

  • The final total payable

This ensures patients can make an informed decision before purchase.

Key takeaway

  • Most prescription medications are not charged VAT in the UK.

  • Delivery or optional extras may affect the final total.

  • The full price is always shown before payment is completed.
