General Service
Is this service legal?
Yes, e-Surgery is 100% legal. We only sell genuine UK medication. We are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. You can check that we are operating legally by checking the GPhC logo and MHRA logo on the bottom of each page you visit.
How do I know that I am receiving legitimate medication?
We only sell legitimate, genuine UK branded medication prescribed to you by a registered prescriber. When buying medication online always look for the green GPhC logo and MHRA logo on the bottom of each page you visit. This ensures that the website is a registered online pharmacy operating legally. You should also look out for the registered pharmacy number, e-Surgery’s number is 9010968. Always be aware of counterfeit medication, find out how to tell if medication is legitimate here.
Is an online pharmacy better for the environment than a regular pharmacy?
The healthcare industry is one of the most wasteful public sector industries in the UK. Online pharmacies reduce the fuel required for a journey to the GP or pharmacy, as well as this e-Surgery uses 100% recyclable packaging and actively supports environmental causes. Using an online pharmacy reduces the paper-waste that is often produced by high street pharmacies and NHS prescriptions by using paperless, online prescriptions. This way we are able to keep our costs and carbon emissions low, giving you the option to choose sustainably. You can find out more about what e-Surgery is doing to help improve our environment in our environmental policy. You can also discover our plans for future development as we make our way towards a carbon-neutral pharmacy.
How old do I need to be to use e-Surgery?
You will need to be 18 to order from e-Surgery. This is a legal requirement to make sure we do not sell medication to minors. As we run as an online service and do not see our patients in person, we may need to validate that you are over the age of 18 with a quick check using your name, date of birth and address against national databases like the electoral roll. If this is unsuccessful for whatever reason we will get in touch to make sure that all the details are correct with no typos. On rare occasions, we may also require a form of age verification such a passport or driver’s license.
Will my GP be made aware of my purchase?
We would recommend you inform your GP whenever starting a new medication, but it is not required. We are able to inform your GP for you or you can inform them yourself, this will be confirmed in the patient health questionnaire.
I can’t see my medication on your website, can I make a request?
If you can’t find what you are looking for contact our team either by phone, email or using our Ask a Pharmacist service and make a medication request. If we are unable to provide you the prescription medication you need, we can advise you on the best way forward.

Placing An Order
Do you accept NHS prescriptions?
Unfortunately, at present we do not accept NHS prescriptions. We have a team of fully registered UK prescribers who will write a prescription for your medication based on the answers from your health questionnaire. We are a private service allowing patients to receive medication for common ailments without needing to see a doctor in person.
Can I order over the phone?
Yes, we are able to take orders over the phone. This will require our customer care team going through the medical questionnaire with you and placing the order through the guest checkout. You can place an order over the phone by calling 01603 298103 Mon-Fri 9-5 (though please be aware orders made on a Monday may have to be made after 4:30).
Can I make an order for someone else?
In order to make an order the person who needs the medication will need to answer the health questionnaire as well as provide their name and residential address for our age verification system. The order does not have to be delivered to the residential address provided and the name on the shipping label (the name that appears outside of the box) can also be different to the prescription label (which is on the medication box itself and must be the name of the person who answered the health questionnaire). Someone else may pay for the medication (using their card and bank details) as well as use someone else’s contact details as long as whom ever the medication is for has answered the health questionnaire.
What should I do if I have not received a confirmation email?
You will be sent a confirmation email with an order number once your order has been placed. Sometimes a simple typo means the email does not get sent to you, e.g. typing .cm instead of .com. Sometimes emails with medication names will be filtered out by your email provider. Please check your junk/spam mail. Please contact us by phone or email if you have not received a confirmation email.
Why is my order on hold?
In some cases, you may receive an email notifying you that your order is on hold. This could be for a few reasons; it may be because: You have ordered your medication too soon in which case we may contact you for some further answers. Our prescribers have some concerns or questions based on your health questionnaire There are some details missing from your order We were unable to verify that you are over the age of 18 and may require more information or proof of age There will be details in the email letting you know what to do next. If you have any questions or concerns send us an email or give us a call and we will happily answer any of your queries.
Why have I been asked to provide proof of age?
We are only able to provide medication to those who are over 18 years old. As an online service we are unable to see our patients in real life and therefore need to verify you are not a minor, we can do this by taking your name, date of birth and residential address and checking it against national databases such as the electoral roll. In cases where this is not successful, we may require a form of ID to verify your age.
What ID can I provide?
We accept a driver’s license or passport as a valid form of ID. You can send us a photocopy or picture by email.
What does it mean if I have ordered too early?
We are only able to prescribe a certain amount of medication to an individual in order to prevent unsafe use and to check the medication is still working as expected. If you have ordered too early, we will get in touch to find out the reason why you wish to have extra medication and we will do our best to help. Sometimes we will then provide a full refund, send out part of an order or keep the order on hold until we are able to ship it out to you.
I have been asked to provide further information, what does this mean?
In some instances, we may send you an email requiring further information after your order has been placed. This simply means our prescribers need to clarify your answers in the health questionnaire to check you are receiving the appropriate medication. You can simply reply to the email or giving us a call.

How long does my order take to be delivered?
Once your order has been dispatched the delivery time will depend on the option you selected at checkout.

How long does my order take to be sent out?

Once the medication has been dispensed it will be sent out that same day (if ordered before 3pm and except on weekends/bank holidays when it will be sent out the following Monday).
Does my delivery require a signature?
You will only need to sign for the delivery if you selected the Royal Mail guaranteed 1pm next day special delivery at checkout. Where possibly we package medication in letterbox sized boxes.
Can I deliver to a different address?
Yes, you can deliver your medication to whatever address is most convenient for you, although we will need your correct billing address. We may require your residential address for ID checks as our system uses national databases such as the electoral role to check you are over the age of 18. We will only send out medication to the requested address which does not have to be the same as your billing or residential address (e.g. work, a holiday home, a friend/family members house or a partner’s address).
How do I track the status of my delivery?

What does the packaging look like?
All our packaging is 100% recyclable brown cardboard. It is in plain, discreet packaging without any indication of the e-Surgery on the outside of the box.
Is e-Surgery packaging recyclable?
Yes, all our packaging is recyclable. A lot of medication does come in blister packs which are not currently recyclable, these can go into general waste. Old inhalers should be taken to a local pharmacy where they can be properly recycled, you can find out more about recycling old inhalers here. You should take any old or unused medication to a pharmacy who will be able to dispose of it safely.
