Cloud Pharmacy is authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority to sell medicines online through our website www.cloudpharmacy.co.uk

Cloud Pharmacy is registered as a pharmacy with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

We purchase all of our medication from the exact same places as your traditional high street pharmacies. Irrespective of online or high street pharmacy, medicine can only be obtained from a certified and approved distributor.

Our online service offers a free consultation which is reviewed by one of our prescribers in the medical team. They issue you with a private prescription which is then processed through our pharmacy and delivered to you.

We only use plain, discreet packaging free from any branding or labels indicating the contents.

Your medical and personal information is completely confidential and only will only be viewable by our prescribers and pharmacy team.

View our Privacy Policy for further information.

Cloud Pharmacy currently only delivers to the United Kingdom.

Our service is available 24 hours a day for you to complete a consultation at a time that suits you, with no appointment needed.

Our fees are fully inclusive of the cost of treatment, so it would not be possible for us to supply you with a prescription to take elsewhere.

Our patients are invited to rate their experience and these are available to view at Trustpilot.

Orders made through our site are handled with total confidence, and your information is always kept secure.

Email us at help@cloudpharmacy.co.uk or call us on 0207 157 9759. Our customer care team is available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You can also reach us by completing the contact form on our "Contact Us" page.

Our consultations are not free, however all prices on the website include the fee for a consultation with the medication and therefore the price you see is the price you will pay. The consultation is 70% of the total price and the remaining 30% is the price for the product. This primarily applies to Pharmacy only medications and prescription only medications.

We often get questions regarding delivery, primarily what 'next day delivery' means.

Next day delivery (accross all industries) means next working day. A working day is a day of the week (Monday to Friday).

This means if you place an order after 15:30 on Friday (after our next day cut-off), the next working day will be MONDAY, meaning you will receive your item on the TUESDAY.

The only time you will receive your item over the weekend is if you select the DPD SATURDAY option on FRIDAY BEFORE 15:30.

We will not share any information with your GP unless you have given us consent to do this. If you do consent to us providing information to your GP, we will request their details from you.

Alternatively, if you don’t know the name of the drug you require, you can search for it by typing in the name of the condition you are looking to treat into our search box; or again, by opening our condition drop-down menu.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, our customer care team may be able to help.

If you have not used a particular medication before and are not sure whether it is suitable for you, we would advise that you see your doctor to discuss it in person, before placing an order online.

When you opt to buy a specific treatment from our site, you will be presented with a medical questionnaire. You should ensure that your answers accurately reflect your current medical state so that our prescriber can determine whether the product you are buying is right for you. This means disclosing all relevant information about your medical history, and anything else our prescriber may need to know; such as your overall health or lifestyle habits, allergies, or information about other medicines you are currently using.

Once our prescriber has reviewed your order, they will send you some important safety information. Please make sure you read and understand this fully before proceeding with your order.

The listed price is all-inclusive meaning that it covers the cost of your medicine and the consultation. 

There are no hidden charges. 

If the medication you have ordered has been found unsuitable for you for any reason by the prescriber, or the pharmacist, you’ll be notified by email, and you won’t be charged.

The answers you have supplied to the questions in your medical assessment are then reviewed by one of our UK Registered prescribers. 

Once your order has been confirmed as suitable for you, an electronic prescription is issued by the prescriber, and your order is passed on to the pharmacy.

Your medication is then dispensed and shipped to your door in discreet/plain packaging.

To ensure you receive your treatment promptly as possible, we would advise that you keep an eye out for emails and texts with updates about your order.

After reviewing your case, the doctor or pharmacist may ask you to provide further information relating to your order.

If you are asked by our doctor or pharmacist to review information or answer additional safety questions, it is important to do so as soon as you can, to help us ensure your order is not subject to delay.

Yes. You will need to retake the questionnaire each time you order and provide up-to-date information so that the prescriber can accurately assess your case.

If you have already placed your order and want to change your delivery address, please contact our customer care team as soon as possible.

Please note that we will not be able to change your delivery address for an order you have already placed once it has been approved by our prescriber.

Your driver will leave a calling card for you so that you can reschedule delivery.

After your medicine has been dispensed, it will be packed and sealed in plain packaging by our pharmacy team, and then passed onto our delivery partners (Royal Mail and DPD), to be shipped.

Unfortunately, we are unable to allow you to choose your delivery time.

However, the courier will email you to let you know what time to expect your parcel on your day of arrival.

We are unable to accept returns or offer refunds on prescribed items, as it is against the law to do so. Any medications returned to us are destroyed.
