Service Limitations
While the portal seeks to make healthcare services readily accessible, it should be noted that it is not a replacement for full in-person healthcare provision in all cases.
The service is limited as follows:
- It is meant to cater for non-emergency medical conditions only
- It may not be appropriate for complicated or high-risk medical conditions
- Diagnosis and prescription of treatment rely entirely on information provided by the patient
- Some drugs or forms of treatment may not be obtainable through the portal
It is not guaranteed that:
- A prescription will be provided each time
- The service will suit each patient or medical condition
- Access will be uninterrupted at all times
If your medical condition requires a physical checkup or other form of intervention, in-person medical services are recommended.
Prescription Rules
All website prescriptions are strictly in accordance with clinical and regulatory guidelines. If the medications are prescription-only, then a prescription from a registered medical practitioner is required. The major policy prescriptions are as follows:
- Clinical clearance should precede the prescription: The prescription comes from clinical clearance by the medical doctor.
- A prescription cannot always be obtained: Requesting an appointment does not ensure getting the prescription for the drug.
- Accuracy of medical data: Information on the state of health in prescriptions is accurate.
- Dosage restriction: In order to prevent any form of drug abuse, prescriptions can have lower dosages.
- Control and management: Several prescriptions can be controlled.
Medical professionals operate in line with established medical standards set by regulatory bodies such as the General Medical Council.
Deception or fraud in order to obtain medicine will render services non-grantable.
Payment Terms
All payment options involving the online medication services must be completed through the website and with one of the allowed payment methods. Accepting the terms of your order, you agree with all of the following provisions:
- Transparency: The price of your order will be specified before payment and may include consultations, medications, and shipment charges.
- Authorization: You need to have the required authorisation to make transactions using the payment method you choose.
- Non-refundable consultations: The charge for consultation cannot be returned after the medical examination.
- Eligibility for refund: Drugs can be refunded under certain conditions (no delivery or issues with your order).
- Currencies and additional charges: Payments will be conducted in the selected currency and may include additional charges according to your service provider.
The pricing policy can be changed by our side; however, it will not affect the payments that have already been made.

- The website is offered ‘as is’ and ‘as available’
Decisions regarding health are made taking into consideration the information available at the moment. Even though the professionals would conduct themselves in a responsible manner, there is no assurance that the outcome of the treatment would be medically satisfactory.
