General

How do I find the treatment and medication I require?

You can simply use the search function on the homepage to type in the name of a specific treatment. Alternatively, you can click on the relevant medical category and find an overview of treatments. The Doctors on our platform prescribe the most common treatments for each condition.

Can I use the medication to treat a different condition than it is offered for?

No. The doctor prescribes each medication as part of a particular treatment, and it may not be used otherwise. The questionnaires are treatment-specific and the doctor reviews your answers with regards to the treatment of a particular medical concern.

Can I consult the doctor without placing an order?

Holders of a customer account can always contact a doctor on the DoktorABC platform confidentially. Simply go to "Ask a doctor" in your account and type your message in the chat field.

Do you work with licensed doctors?

Yes, all physicians are certified and licensed in the UK. During your consultation, you may inquire about the name and registration number of the attending physician. With this information, you are easily able to verify the qualification and certification.

How are doctors and pharmacies being controlled?

The partners of DoktorABC are controlled on two independent levels. All doctors and pharmacies hold a license and are under the supervision of the responsible authority in the UK. Additionally, both the doctors and the pharmacies we are affiliated with, are monitored by us, including their medical- and additional qualifications.

Can I be sure, service and delivery are confidential?

Yes, DoktorABC makes sure to keep all information confidential and secure. Only the prescribing doctor on the DoktorABC platform can see your answers to the medical questionnaire and the chat content. All orders are sent in neutral packaging, so as not to disclose the content. The package does not show any DoktorABC label.

Payments

Which payment methods does DoktorABC accept?

We accept the following credit cards: Visa (Credit, Debit, and Electron), MasterCard (Credit and Debit) and Maestro. You can also use Klarna or PayPal to settle the bill. If you'd rather pay cash, on delivery, that works too.

Do I need to pay extra for the prescription and/or delivery?

No. There are no hidden charges, DoktorABC offers an all-inclusive service. The cost for the prescription is included within the price, next-day delivery is free for all orders.

What will appear on my bank / credit card statement?

The transaction is labeled "Sky Marketing Limited", which is the owner of the DoktorABC platform.

Can I request a refund from the health insurance?

Prescriptions issued by the doctors on the DoktorABC platform are legally regarded as private prescriptions. Therefore a reimbursement of the costs by the health insurance is not possible.

My payment is declined. What could be the reason?

Make sure that all payment information, credit card details, etc. entered by you are correct and complete. Then check if there are sufficient funds to cover the current transaction.

Orders

How do I order treatment?

Click ""Start Online Consultations"". This brings you to a treatment-specific questionnaire, which you need to fill out. Be sure to answer truthfully, so that the doctor can make a valid assessment. Your answers are visible only to prescribing doctor on the platform, and if there is no impediment, he will issue a prescription directly to the mail-order-pharmacy. You will be informed via e-mail about every step.

Do I need a prescription when placing an order?

A prescription is not required when using our service, because one of The Doctors on our platform will issue a private prescription for you, which is forwarded to the partner pharmacy after approval.

Do I receive medication or just a prescription?

You receive the medication itself. A copy of your prescription is enclosed with the shipment of the medication.

How long does it take till I get an approval from the doctor?

During regular work hours, between 8 am and 5 pm, you will normally receive an answer within a half hour. At weekends, requests are usually processed by the doctors within 12 hours.

Do I have to provide a telephone number when placing an order?

No, all you need is a valid e-mail address, in case the doctor needs to get in touch with you. A telephone number can be helpful for the shipper.

Can I order several packages of one medicine at once?

You can only order one package for each treatment at the time. All subsequent orders for the same treatment (eg erectile dysfunction) are only possible at certain medically acceptable intervals. Treatments offered on this website are usually available in different pack sizes and for different treatment periods.

Can I order medication for another person?

Unfortunately, no. All customers must have their own account, and the questionnaire must be completed by the person who is ordering the medicine.

Is there a limit to how much I can order?

Yes, depending on the nature and severity of your symptoms, the scope of the treatment is determined individually. A doctor ultimately decides on the amount and dosage.

Can orders be made by phone?

No. The doctor can not issue a prescription without the completed online questionnaire. Only you can access your account and enter the required information. Also, our support staff may under no circumstances place an order in your name in the system.

I have an existing prescription, can I use it?

Unfortunately, we can not accept existing or external prescriptions. To place an order with us, a private prescription must be issued by one the doctors on our platform, based on the information you provide.

Can the doctor reject a prescription and will I get my money back?

Yes, in rare cases the doctor may not be able to prescribe a particular treatment, due to specific health conditions or non-compatibility with other medications the applicant is taking. In such a case, the physician will recommend an alternative treatment. Should this not be possible, your payment will be refunded to you in full.
