home delivery of medicines is growing

Delivering medicines to homes: the offer was already tested by La Poste in 2016. Today, delivery people for pharmaceutical products have reached major cities. Several start-ups offer this service. All you have to do is connect to your computer or smartphone, choose a pharmacy near you and send your order with or without a prescription. At the other end of the chain, there are partner pharmacies.

Possible refund

A pharmacist explains: “It’s often people who can’t get to the pharmacy.” Medical secrecy is preserved. La Poste charges 5.40 euros without a prescription and 7.90 euros with. This service is cheaper with some private companies. Delivery costs are sometimes reimbursed by Social Security or certain mutual insurance companies. The next step could be drone delivery. The first experiments seem convincing.
