No, We can only deliver your NHS prescription to addresses in the UK.

We can deliver to your home or work address, as long as it is in the UK. You can also choose a Superdrug store to collect your prescription from.

But please note that we do not deliver to ‘virtual address’ services, like Parcel Motel and Parcel Wizard. We also do not deliver to other pharmacies or pharmacy service providers.

Delivery is FREE of charge.

All products are sent in plain, discreet packaging with only a Royal Mail postage label on the outside of the item. The only exception is for asthma inhalers which Royal Mail requires you to attach an ID8000 consumer commodity label to the package.

Your item(s) will be sent by Royal Mail.

As part of the registration process we will let you know if your GP surgery is EPS enabled or you can ask your surgery directly. If your surgery is not using the electronic prescription service we would recommend you still complete the registration. GP surgeries around the country are increasingly activating the NHS Electronic Prescription Service and as soon as your surgery chooses to do so we can let you know.

If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, there are no Electronic Prescriptions as yet and so you will need to use the following process to have your green paper prescriptions dispensed and delivered:

• Register an account with Superdrug Online NHS Prescriptions
• Place an order on Superdrug Online NHS Prescriptions for your prescription medication
• Our pharmacy team will then order your prescriptions from your GP surgery
• We will then ask your GP surgery to post the prescriptions to our dispensing Hub in Northampton
• Your medication will then be dispensed and delivered to the address you have chosen

Please note:

• GP surgeries require a minimum of 2 working days to generate your prescriptions
• The prescriptions can then take up to 2 working days to arrive at our Northampton dispensing Hub
• It will then take up to 2 working days for the medication to arrive at your chosen address
• If there are any discrepancies, mistakes or missing items on your prescriptions that arrive from your GP surgery, this will take additional days to rectify

Alternatively, if you already have your green paper prescriptions you can send them free of charge to Freepost Superdrug Online Pharmacy (this is all you need to write on the envelope — no other address details are required)

Our pharmacy team will then be able to dispense your medications and deliver them to your chosen address.

You can check the registration status of these pharmacies and of the superintendent pharmacists by entering the registration numbers on the General Pharmaceutical Council website (https://www.pharmacyregulation.org).

To help EU citizens identify trustworthy sites, an EU-wide logo will appear on the websites of online retailers that are registered in an EU Member State to sell medicines online. This logo verifies that we have been approved to sell General sale, Pharmacy only and Prescription only medicines. In the UK the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), holds a register online that contains all websites that are authorised by to sell medicines online. You can use this register to check if a website is legally allowed to sell medicines to the public. If you think a website is selling medicines illegally you should tell MHRA.
