How to order

Dr Fox carries out online medical consultations. Doctors issue the prescriptions electronically. The medicine is dispensed and posted from our UK online pharmacy by recorded delivery.

  • Choose a condition or treatment required.
  • An information page is presented for each condition. The information pages contain medical information, links to information websites, and outlines of treatments. Important possible side effects and cautions are listed on the information pages.
  • You provide the doctor with health information by completing an online questionnaire.
  • At the end of the questionnaire you are advised if you are eligible to make a provisional order.
  • After ordering you register with a delivery address (or log-in to an existing account) and pay with a debit or credit card. Emails are sent to confirm each stage.
  • With patients' consent, or where prescribing guidelines require, patient's GPs are informed of the supply of treatment.
  • Registered patients can message the doctors from their account before and after placing an order. Doctors can also be contacted by phone and email.
  • Dr Fox doctors check questionnaire answers and messages before prescriptions are issued.
  • When a prescription is issued a confirmation email is sent (no sensitive details are included in emails).
  • All order and messaging history, and payment receipts, are available in your My Account section.
  • Medication is dispensed and posted by recorded delivery from our UK pharmacy. A signature is required on receipt and packaging is discreet. An email with a tracking number is sent at the time medication is posted.
