Industry Background:
An online pharmacy is a company that sells pharmaceutical preparations such as non-prescription and prescription-only pharmaceuticals via the internet and delivers them. Generally, online pharmacy platforms allow customers to upload scanned copies of their prescriptions and place orders for medicines. Then this request is forwarded to the registered pharmacy stores or in some cases to the inventory and finally, the order gets shipped from there. Due to large factors of convenience, the use of online pharmacies is increasing rapidly. Sometimes online pharmacy is used to get a certain drug that may be unavailable.
