How can I be sure that the medicine provided is legitimate?
Our pharmacies are licensed by the Pharmaceutical General Council of the UK, which guarantees that medicines are original. Also, DoktorABC and the related mail order pharmacies are certified by the MHRA (Regulatory Authority for Medicines and Health Care Products in the UK).

Orders

How do I order treatment?
As soon as you find the treatment you are looking for, click "Start Consultation". 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 our doctors, 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 our registered doctors issues a private prescription to you, which we automatically forward to the 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.
