To ensure patients do not have more medication than they need
Ensuring patients are alerted when they should be signposted to a more appropriate service e.g. their GP or a specialist.
To alert our healthcare team if a customer has a recurring problem which may indicate an underlying health issue.

Which Medicines should not be purchased together?
Usually, medicines that have similar effects on the body cannot be purchased together via our software. E.g. “ Codeine containing products, or two Promethazine containing products. If you have purchased one of these products we limit further purchases within a 28 day (or varying days depending on dosage) time-frame.

The software either will alert our pharmacist at the time of sale or during our pharmacist check.

We also have varying ingredients that cannot be purchased together that are for different ailments as the risks associated with the two being taken together outweigh the benefits of treating both conditions simultaneously.

E.g. Codeine and Promethazine (Or other antihistamines) containing products cannot be purchased together as their cumulative sedative effects can be dangerous.

Repeat Purchasing

Our software will flag up repeat purchases of a particular ingredient. Despite the fact you may be restricted for 28 to 60 days if you order a product regularly each month, for example, loperamide for IBS or Chron’s disease this will flag to our healthcare team and we will request to confirm your diagnosis with your own GP. Quite often patients are told by their GP to come to an Online Pharmacy and purchase things such as Loperamide, Phenergan for long term conditions that are being monitored, as they are cheaper to purchase than to have via NHS prescription. When your GP comes back to us we can supply the medication once diagnosis s confirmed. You will also be flagged as being approved for Chronic treatment and reminded to speak to your GP regularly.

Signposting

If our healthcare team feel that your condition would be more suitably treated or investigated face to face they will request that you visit your own GP or another service in your area to ensure you get the correct care.
