Online Medicine

An online pharmacy is an internet-based vendor that sells medicines and includes both legitimate and illegitimate pharmacies. Independent Internet-only sites, online branches of “brick-and-mortar” pharmacies, and sites representing partnership among pharmacies fall under the purview on “online pharmacies.

Contemporary times are witnessing a surge in E-commerce, including online shopping, and this includes the sale of prescription and nonprescription medicines as well. The concept of online pharmacies and online sale of medicines has been in vogue worldwide for more than two decades.

Why are online pharmacies popular? Online pharmacies offer better pricing than offline stores, with increased access, lower transaction and product costs, convenience and greater anonymity for consumers.

They offer accessibility to people with limited mobility and people in remote areas. These provide medialerts (personalized medicine reminder service), discounts, doorstep delivery within a short time, and validation of prescription through licensed pharmacists.
