Alternaleaf Consultation Fees
| Item | Price | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation | £49 | Best value in the UK |
| Follow-up consultation | £49 | Every 3 months |
| Monthly medication (flower) | £50–£150 | From £5/g |
| Monthly medication (oil) | £40–£120 | Per bottle |
No membership fee, no subscription, no annual admin charge. Reviews are quarterly because cannabis prescriptions must be reviewed every three months.
Budget rule of thumb: consultations are a small fraction of what you will actually spend. At 30g/month, medication is roughly 85–90% of your total annual cost. Optimise the prescription, not the consult fee.
Alternaleaf Flower & Oil Price Bands

How the Alternaleaf Formulary Works
Unlike clinics that own their pharmacy and push their own product line, Alternaleaf is a prescribing layer on top of several dispensing pharmacies — IPS, Cedarwood and other major UK dispensaries. That matters for two reasons:
- Your prescriber can select from a much wider catalogue, including Aurora/Adven, Bedrocan, and imported GMP-certified specials.
- If one pharmacy is out of stock, another can often supply the same or an equivalent product — which is why Alternaleaf reports fewer hard stock-outs than single-pharmacy clinics.
The trade-off is that there is no single public price list: your prescription is priced by whichever pharmacy dispenses it. In practice the spread between pharmacies is small for common products, but it does exist — and you can ask to move a script if you find a better price.
The Alternaleaf App: Where the Price List Lives
The app is not a bolted-on extra — it is the whole service. Once registered you can browse the current formulary with live pricing, see your prescription, request repeats, message the clinical team, and track delivery. For anyone who has dealt with a clinic by phone and email, this is the single most-praised part of the Alternaleaf experience.
You cannot see product-level pricing before you register, which is why this page exists: use the bands above to decide whether the numbers work, then check live stock in the app.

Alternaleaf Price List: Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the Alternaleaf price list in total per month?
Budget for £50–£200 per month in medication plus £49 every three months for your review consultation. A typical patient on 20–30g of flower per month pays roughly £100–£250/month all-in. There is no membership fee, no dispensing subscription, and delivery is normally included by the dispensing pharmacy.
Where can I see the full Alternaleaf products list?
The live formulary sits inside the Alternaleaf patient app, which is the only place with real-time stock and per-product pricing. Alternaleaf works with multiple dispensing pharmacies (including IPS and Cedarwood), so the exact product list changes as stock moves. This page covers what the price bands look like so you can budget before you register.
What does 'formulary' mean for Alternaleaf?
A formulary is the list of medicines a prescriber is able to prescribe. Because Alternaleaf is not tied to one producer or one pharmacy, its effective formulary is broad — it can draw on Aurora/Adven, Bedrocan, and a range of imported GMP-certified specials. The practical limit is stock at the dispensing pharmacy on the day, not a fixed in-house catalogue.
Why are Alternaleaf flower prices different from other clinics?
Two reasons. First, the product itself — irradiated versus non-irradiated, import origin, and THC strength all move the price per gram. Second, Alternaleaf lets your prescription go to more than one pharmacy partner, so you are not locked into a single dispensary's margin. Clinics that own their pharmacy, such as Curaleaf, have less price variation but also less price competition.
Is there a cheaper option than Alternaleaf?
On consultation fees, yes: Medicann charges nothing for an initial consultation, and CB1 Medical's £50 covers all consultations for a year and then free care for life. On medication, prices are set by the pharmacy rather than the clinic, so most clinics dispense at similar rates. Alternaleaf's advantage is the combination — a low £49 entry plus multi-pharmacy dispensing.
Does Alternaleaf charge for repeat prescriptions?
No separate repeat fee. Repeats are requested through the app between your three-monthly reviews and are covered by the standard consultation cycle. Some pharmacies add a small dispensing charge, but delivery is normally included.
Are there hidden costs in the Alternaleaf price list?
The published fees cover consultations and the prescription is billed at pharmacy rates. Watch for three things: the cost of your actual prescription (the dominant expense), any dispensing fee charged by the specific pharmacy, and travel if you ever need an in-person appointment. There is no membership, subscription, or annual admin charge.
