About Mamedica

Mamedica has built a strong reputation as the go-to clinic for budget-conscious patients, particularly those on benefits (PIP, DLA, Universal Credit) and veterans. Their access scheme is the most generous in the UK — free consultations for life — which can save patients hundreds of pounds per year. The clinic has a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot from over 3,200 reviews, placing them joint-top alongside Releaf for patient satisfaction. Their clinical team is frequently praised for being thorough and understanding. Mamedica offers both flower and oil prescriptions with competitive medication pricing. They have a broad formulary and work with multiple pharmacies to ensure stock availability. The main trade-off is that some patients report occasional stock delays and slower communication compared to Releaf or Alternaleaf. However, for the price savings, most patients consider this a worthwhile compromise.

How Consultations Work

Book online. Initial consultation is a video call with a specialist lasting 30-40 minutes. You will discuss your condition, treatment history, and suitability. If you are applying for the access scheme, have your benefits documentation ready. The process is relaxed — doctors are used to nervous first-timers.

Prescription & Medication

Approved prescriptions are sent to a partner pharmacy within 24-48 hours. Mamedica works with multiple pharmacies to maintain stock availability. Dispensing and delivery typically take 2-5 working days. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered through the patient portal.

Pharmacy Options

Mamedica works with multiple pharmacies including IPS, Curaleaf, and Cedarwood. This means better stock availability and the ability to source specific products. Delivery costs vary by pharmacy but are typically £5-10 or free above certain order values.
