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.

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?

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.
