Hi there, can anyone recommend an online pharmacy? I have been using pilltime, what I like about them is that they supply the medicine already sorted in pouches for each day, however they keep letting me down, I have been without medication for three days now, they are so disorganised! So what I am wondering is this does anyone know of any other online pharmacies supplying NHS patients with their medicines already sorted in pouches that i could try instead?

Boots do, and deliver free. Haven't made use of it yet myself though so no idea if they're good or bad!

I use Pharmacy2u but they run out of stock and delay my delivery but you can't get the Gp to issue the prescription early, they do it by date regardless of how difficult it can be to get the drugs. Then again I had the same problem with the local chemist, well the chemist was worse tbf.

If you cannot get to your local pharmacy, do they deliver? There is no way I would trust an online pharmacy to reliably deliver on time. Too many stories of prescriptions being dispensed too late and delayed deliveries by Royal Mail. If we don’t use our local pharmacies they will close and then we’ll all be at the mercy of these on line businesses who are unreliable, don’t know us and don’t care about anything but profit.

I’ve used Coda pharmacy for several years and have never had a problem. They’re based in Brighton and deliver NHS prescriptions anywhere. I tried the usual large online pharmacies and had lots of issues. My prescriptions are delivered on time and always available.

My husband uses Pharcy2U but they keep sending him reminders that his medication needs to be ordered, even when it's not due for ages. They've twice missed items in the delivery.
