Please check with the NHS to find out whether this applies to pharmacies in your area.

LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor is a private medical service. The prices involved incorporate the cost of the doctor’s consultation, the private prescription and the treatment.

All our medicines are dispensed by LloydsPharmacy, so you can be assured that they are genuine and safe to use.

Certain treatments are available for re-order. You can find these treatments in the section 'Suggested Treatments' in your Patient Record.

At present, we only provide the medicines listed on our website (although in some cases, a product may simply be temporarily out of stock).

If you cannot find the product that you are looking for it is probably because we do not prescribe this product. We suggest that you contact your GP to obtain a prescription.

Our customer services team cannot answer medical questions. If you have a query about your health, please click the link below to message your doctor using your Patient Record.
