PostMyMeds

PostMyMeds, a UK-based online pharmacy

PostMyMeds is a UK-registered online pharmacy that sells treatments for a wide range of conditions and sends them by first-class mail. The company presents itself as an independent service with more than fifteen years of pharmaceutical experience in both the public (NHS) and private sectors, and states that its priority is safety and accuracy in dispensing.

The operating model works in three steps: the customer completes a free consultation about their condition, selects the treatment and places the order; a prescriber at the pharmacy reviews the request and, if the treatment is suitable, issues a private prescription that is dispensed and sent directly to the customer's home. The company states that delivery can arrive within twenty-four hours.

Range of treatments and products

The range is organised by condition and product category. Areas covered include acne, athlete's foot, baby and child health, bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, colds and flu, cold sores, constipation, COVID-19 tests, cystitis, diabetes, diarrhoea, eczema, erectile dysfunction, excessive facial hair, eye care, feminine care, fungal nail infection, genital herpes, hair loss, hay fever and allergies, pregnancy tests and other home test kits, irritable bowel syndrome and cramps, lice and scabies, long-term contraception, malaria, menopause, migraine, the morning-after pill, pain relief, period delay, piles (haemorrhoids), premature ejaculation, reflux and indigestion, sleep aids, stop smoking, threadworms, thrush, tooth decay, Vitality CBD, vitamins and supplements, and weight-loss treatments.

As well as medicines, the shop includes a section for pharmacy shop products and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Prior consultation and private prescription

The company does not require customers to have a prescription beforehand. The process begins with a free consultation form that is assessed by experienced prescribers; if the requested treatment is safe and suitable, a private prescription is issued. The pharmacy states that all the medication it dispenses is approved by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), so it is legal, licensed and safe for use.

Discreet shipping and free delivery

Orders are sent in a padded, unbranded brown envelope or box, with only the address label showing. Delivery is free and is made by Royal Mail first-class post. The company notes that, for the time being, it does not ship outside the United Kingdom.

Customer service and pharmacy team

PostMyMeds states that its specialist pharmacy team is available to answer any medical questions or concerns. The company presents itself as an alternative to corporate pharmacies, with a personalised service from start to finish, and states that it seeks to recreate the friendly feel of a local pharmacy even though the service is provided remotely from a smartphone, laptop, desktop computer or tablet.
