How iGovy Checks Prices
How iGovy checks prices is fairly simple. We use automated systems to spot likely changes, we manually review listings ourselves, and we stay in contact with pharmacies so we can keep track of things that may affect what people are actually likely to see.
Rather than relying on a single number, we look at whether the provider page still matches the listing, whether there are extra costs or awkward conditions, and whether anything practical has changed behind the scenes. This is the same general checking process used across Monj.
iGovy checks prices using automated monitoring, manual review and direct communication with pharmacies. The aim is to keep listings accurate, up to date and closer to what users are actually likely to encounter.
The Price Review Process
Automated checks
We use automated systems to spot likely price changes, offer changes and listing changes every few hours. This helps us see which providers may need a closer look sooner rather than later.
Manual review
We then check listings ourselves. That helps us make sure the provider page still appears to match the comparison and that the pricing still looks sensible in context.
Hidden cost checks
A headline figure is not always the whole story. We look out for extra fees, delivery quirks, awkward conditions or offer wording that may change the real value of the listing.
Direct communication
We keep in contact with pharmacies for a number of reasons, including price changes, supply issues, service problems, staffing pressures and other updates that may be useful for users.
GPhC and provider checks
iGovy focuses on regulated UK pharmacy providers, and users should still check that a pharmacy is properly registered with the GPhC pharmacy register. That is part of safer comparison, not just good admin.
MHRA safety information
Wegovy is an MHRA-regulated medicine, and users can report suspected side effects through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. The Yellow Card scheme is there so people can report suspected side effects or safety concerns, and it is worth knowing about alongside normal clinical advice.
