Switching from Numan to HeMed

If you are currently with Numan, switching works the same way as from any other UK provider. Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed. A clinician reviews your health information and your current treatment first, and your HeMed plan is confirmed before anything changes.

HeMed has no connection with Numan. Numan is a trade mark of its owner, used here only to say which provider you are switching from.

What to have ready

  • Proof of your current prescription

    With treatment in the last 2 months, it lets you make the baseline blood test your choice, or continue from a BMI of 23, subject to medical history and clinical review.

  • Your current treatment and dose, and how long you have been on it

    Your clinician reviews where you are, including your current treatment and dose, and continues it where that is right for you.

  • The date of your last dose

    Say in your eligibility check if there could be a gap before your HeMed plan is confirmed. Your clinician takes it into account.

No letter or referral from your current provider is needed. A HeMed clinician makes their own assessment.

Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed until your clinician confirms your plan.

Once HeMed confirms your plan: ending your Numan plan

Numan publishes its own process for ending a plan and for getting a copy of your records. This is what its pages said when we checked them on 21 October 2026. Processes change, so check your account before you act.

Ending or pausing your plan
Numan’s help centre says you can pause a subscription in your account at any time to stop future orders and payments (for weight loss the button is labelled Suspend), and that a full cancellation goes through its Customer Care team. Its terms say the 14-day change-of-mind right does not apply to prescribed items and that no refund is issued once an order has been dispatched, while a prescription can be cancelled free of charge before a clinician approves it. Commitment packages of 3, 6 or 12 months cannot be paused or cancelled during the term except under Numan’s listed exemptions; the early-exit route is a fee paid through Customer Care within a 48-hour window before the next scheduled order. [1]
Your prescription record
Numan’s help centre says you can download a copy of your prescription as a PDF from your account (select the product, then Copy of prescription), and that treatment history and invoices are available on request from Customer Care. Its privacy notice gives a subject access route by email, with a response within one calendar month and no charge. Closing your account removes access to your patient records, so download what you need before you close it. [2]
Billing and timing
Numan’s help centre says you are charged only once its clinical team has approved your prescription; for weight loss orders payment is taken the day before the scheduled delivery date, and subscriptions renew every 28 days from the initial order. Delivery date changes need at least 3 days’ notice, a weight loss delivery can be pushed back by up to 14 days, and once a payment has been taken the order is processing and the date cannot be changed. [3]

Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed until your HeMed plan is confirmed. Do not use treatment from two providers at the same time.

Get started

Your HeMed plan is confirmed before anything changes.

How leaving HeMed works

If you’re on our rolling monthly plan, you can cancel with at least 5 days’ notice before your next payment date. On a 3, 6 or 12-month plan, cancelling early carries a termination fee unless your clinician advises stopping; the exact fee is shown before you confirm.

Full details are on our terms and conditions.

How HeMed assesses you

A HeMed clinician reviews your health information and your current treatment first. An at-home blood test is included at the start and every 6 months after that. If you’ve been on treatment within the last 2 months, the baseline test is your choice.

  • See what the scale can’t

    Weight is one number. Your blood shows what’s underneath it: heart, liver, blood sugar and thyroid.

  • Treatment that fits your biology

    Your clinician sees your baseline before confirming your plan. If you’ve chosen to skip the test, they see your prescription record instead.

  • What’s changing inside

    Retests every 6 months show your markers side by side, so you and your clinician see what’s moving.

  • Easy, and included

    Needle-free and done at home in minutes. Included in every plan, at the start and every 6 months.

Questions, asked and answered

Short answers to the common switching questions. For anything else, our support team can help.

How do I cancel or pause a Numan subscription?

Numan’s help centre says you can pause a subscription in your account at any time to stop future orders and payments. For weight loss the button is labelled Suspend. A full cancellation goes through its Customer Care team.

Can I leave a Numan commitment package early?

Numan’s terms say 3, 6 or 12-month commitment packages cannot be paused or cancelled during the term except under its listed exemptions. The early-exit route is a fee paid through Customer Care within a 48-hour window before the next scheduled order.

Can I get a copy of my Numan prescription?

Yes. Numan’s help centre says you can download a copy of your prescription as a PDF from your account: select the product, then Copy of prescription.

Do I have to stop my current treatment while I switch?

Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed. A clinician reviews your health information and your current treatment first. They confirm your HeMed plan before anything changes.

Will I have to start from the beginning again?

No, not for the sake of it. Your clinician reviews where you are, including your current treatment and dose, and continues it where that is right for you. What suits you is a clinical decision.

Do I need a blood test if I’ve already had one elsewhere?

If you’ve been on treatment within the last 2 months, the baseline test is your choice. Your clinician can assess you from proof of your prescription and your medical history.

Otherwise your included baseline test gives your clinician current results to work from. A retest every 6 months then shows what’s changing.

Can I switch to HeMed from another UK provider?

Yes. Switching works the same way from any UK provider.

Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed. A clinician reviews your health information and your current treatment first. They confirm your HeMed plan before anything changes.

Can I switch from a BMI of 23?

Yes, to continue treatment you’re already on. Eligibility to continue treatment from a BMI of 23 is subject to proof of prescription, medical history and clinical review. Treatment is prescribed only where clinically appropriate.

Know your numbers. Change them. See the difference.

HeMed starts with a blood test. Take the eligibility check and see if HeMed is right for you.
