Frequently Asked Questions
What payment methods do you accept?
Through our app and website, we accept most major credit and debit cards, including American Express. Unfortunately, we do not accept Paypal at this time.
When will my card be charged?
When you confirm your order, we will authorise the order amount from your bank, meaning your bank may restrict you from spending those funds until the order status is updated and cleared. The actual point that your card will be charged will be upon shipment once the order has been processed by the pharmacy team and approved. If our medical or pharmacy team cannot approve your order for whatever reason, we will cancel your card's authorisation, and you won't be charged.
Why do I have to answer questions to purchase some medicines
Some medications we supply are 'Pharmacy' or 'Prescription-Only'. 'Pharmacy only' (P) drugs must be sold legally by a registered pharmacist. 'Prescription-only medicines' (POMs) require a doctor's prescription before the supply can be made. A patient must be assessed to allow the supervising pharmacist or doctor to determine safety and suitability and approve the sale or issue a prescription.
We therefore need to carry out a short online assessment with some basic medical questions to proceed legally with orders for these types of medicines. The final approval is always under the discretion of the supervising pharmacist or doctor on duty. This is the same information needed to check a medicine sale at a high street pharmacy or a prescription GP surgery.
