What is an online pharmacy?

Online pharmacies in the UK are commonly registered as distance selling pharmacies. These providers operate online rather than as walk-in locations, offering consultations, prescriptions, and home delivery services.

Many online pharmacies require a medical questionnaire or consultation before supplying treatment, so it is important to understand how each provider works before placing an order.

Before you order

Compare Pharmacies is a directory, not a pharmacy provider. Always check that a pharmacy is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and review their prescribing process, delivery terms, and suitability for your needs before ordering medicines or requesting treatment.

How online pharmacies work in the UK

Online pharmacies typically follow a structured process to supply treatment safely. In most cases, you will complete an online consultation or medical questionnaire, which is reviewed by a qualified prescriber.

If the treatment is appropriate, a prescription is issued and the medication is dispensed by the pharmacy and delivered to your address. Delivery times, consultation methods, and prescribing processes can vary between providers.

How to choose a safe online pharmacy

When using an online pharmacy in the UK, it is important to choose a provider that follows proper regulatory and prescribing standards.

Look for pharmacies that are registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), require a consultation before supplying prescription treatments, and clearly explain their prescribing and delivery processes.

Avoid websites that offer prescription medicines without checks or make unrealistic claims, as these may not meet UK safety standards.
