Medication through the letterbox! A God send.

I have SLE and was diagnosed over a year ago. My brother had SLE and sadly died due to SLE complications 7 years ago. I was starting to get a bit fed up of wasting what seems like hours waiting in pharmacys for medication and being told I would have to go to another pharmacy as they either haven't got the medication or aren't allowed to issue it. Not simple when you're suffering from chronic pain. After a bit of digging on the internet I found an online pharmacy called DIMEC. They deliver your medication through the letterbox via Royal Mail. It's quick, easy & free!! This has taken the unnecessary hassle out of getting my medication & I can get all the medication that I need including Mycophenolate. So simple all you need to do is download an app, my medication is usually delivered within 3 days, but more often than not I get it next day. This disease is difficult enough to deal with without having a battle to get medication.

Hi kezzabo and Barnclown

Be careful with online pharmacies and drugs!. Boots Pharmacy will deliver your medication if your not well enough to collect it. Not sure if Lloyds Pharmacy do but it's a great service. Just thought it worth a mention. X

Hi misty14 and Barnclown. This online pharmacy is actually quite local to me and based in the U.K. They are fully legit and are nhs approved. The customer service is 2nd to none. I have been using them for the past 6 months with no problem. I do understand your concern, but there are no such issues with DIMEC. Thank you though. x

Most pharmacies offer a free delivery service these days. I personally would never trust an online srvice.
