We are known as an online pharmacy or distance selling pharmacy. We operate like a normal pharmacy however all of our services are provided in a non face to face manner. We mainly provide these services via telephone or email.
We have a pharmacist on duty, throughout normal working hours, who is available to advise and provide the following services.
