Customer question:

Does the online pharmacy contain more products than the physical one? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Whether an online pharmacy offers more products than a physical one depends on various factors. Physical pharmacies may have limited shelf space, which limits the number of products they keep on hand. Online pharmacies do not have this restriction, allowing them to list more different products. They may not have all the items in their warehouse, but they can order them from suppliers if needed.

Especially with online pharmacies, it is essential to ensure that they are reputable and comply with the necessary regulations and standards in many areas. Regarding selecting the most appropriate drugs and other products, consult a doctor or pharmacist so your selection is as helpful and optimal as possible.

Do online pharmacies allow prescription drugs?

Slovenia, like many countries, regulates the online sale of drugs WITHOUT a prescription and provides advice to ensure the safety of patients and the appropriate use of such drugs. The Medicinal Products Act and the Pharmacy Act regulate the online sale of medicines. Slovenia is a member of the European Union, so all online pharmacies operating in the country must also comply with EU regulations regarding the online sale of medicines.

In general, prescription drugs require a valid prescription, whether you order them online or at a physical pharmacy. A licensed physician must issue the prescription. Suppose you are considering buying prescription drugs in any other country. In that case, you must consult your doctor and ensure the platform is legitimate and meets all legal requirements.

Are food supplements considered medicines?

In general, dietary supplements are not considered drugs. Instead, they usually fall into a separate category, often alongside foods or specific health products. In the EU, nutritional supplements are regulated as foods and may not make medical claims. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) oversees the safety and specific health claims made about dietary supplements.

Strict testing is usually required to prove the effectiveness and safety of drugs. In contrast, dietary supplements are often not required to provide the same level of evidence. You must be informed, understand the difference between drugs and supplements, and be aware of the claims and contents of the products you consume. Consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have doubts about a particular product or its effects.

Do online pharmacies enable the purchase of medical devices?
