Why should you buy from an online Pharmacy?

In many cases, the process of obtaining and filling a prescription was seen as more expensive and burdensome than buying the same drug online. Recent studies have shown our medical system was seen as less responsive to the patient’s needs in the sense of not providing sufficient doses of the required medication.

Online pharmacies have proven to offer better pricing than offline stores, with increased access, lower transaction and product costs, convenience and greater anonymity for patients. They offer accessibility to people with limited mobility and people in remote areas.

All pharmacies in Great Britain, including pharmacies providing services online, must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Online pharmacy owners must meet the GPhC standards for registered pharmacies and follow their guidance on providing pharmacy services at a distance, including on the internet.
