Delivery Information
Prescriptions
NHS - An NHS repeat prescription is an instruction by your doctor to prescribe the medication you need to treat a specific medication condition on a regular basis. This means your doctor has given permission for you to be given this medication in future without having to make an appointment every time you run out.
You can register with us using the 'Electronic Prescription Service, which will save you time in having to pick up your paper prescription from your doctor every time. They'll check and dispense your medication before posting it to you by Royal Mail or DPD, in plain discreet packaging.
There is no delivery charge for NHS Prescriptions - Yes seriously, it is FREE of charge!!
PRIVATE - We can dispense your private prescriptions here at Clear Chemist. Simply order your products online with us. Select "I have a private prescription" on the dropdown box next to the product, add the product(s) to your basket. You will then need to choose a delivery method, unfortunately, there is delivery charges for private prescriptions.
We will then need your original prescription posted to us, we recommend using a tracked speedy service. Once we have everything, we then deliver your prescription, discreetly, to your door.
