The Independent Pharmacy

The Independent Pharmacy Fully regulated online pharmacy trusted by over 1 million patients. The safe, discreet & easy way to buy your treatments online.

The Independent Pharmacy is an online pharmacy and online doctor service operating in the United Kingdom. We provide confidential health consultations and sell over-the-counter and prescription medications across the UK. In 2013, pharmacists Andy Boysan and Scott McDougall were worried about the state of online healthcare. They witnessed an online landscape of misleading information and illegitimate products, and knew that something had to change. What the UK needed was a reliable online platform for essential medication, thorough consultations and expert medical advice. They founded The Independent Pharmacy to allow people access to all those things, and it’s since stood as a standard-bearer for the healthcare industry. When you order from The Independent Pharmacy, you are cared for by only qualified UK pharmacists and doctors. That means no deceptive products, wrong prescriptions, or unreasonable prices. Just a consistent online pharmacy service you can rely on.

Weight can influence more than appearance, it also plays a role in heart health.

Even modest, gradual weight loss can help support blood pressure, cholesterol levels, circulation and overall cardiovascular wellbeing. That’s why sustainable changes and the right level of support matter more than quick fixes.

At The Independent Pharmacy, our clinicians can help you understand your options and find an approach that suits your health and lifestyle.

Your hair can reflect what’s happening inside your body, not just what’s happening on the surface.

Changes in thickness, texture or shedding can sometimes be linked to things like:
• Nutrition and iron levels
• Hormonal changes
• Stress or illness
• Seasonal shifts

Not every change is a cause for concern, but understanding the possible reasons can help you decide when it’s worth seeking advice. Our pharmacists can help review your symptoms and guide you towards the right next step, if needed.

Your menstrual cycle can offer helpful insight into your overall health. Most changes are completely normal, but some symptoms are worth checking in on.

Here are a few period symptoms that may be worth paying attention to:

• Very heavy bleeding or bleeding lasting longer than usual.
• Severe pain that interferes with daily life.
• Sudden changes to your cycle, flow or regularity.
• Bleeding between periods or after s*x.
• Intense mood changes linked to your cycle.
• Periods stopping unexpectedly (when not pregnant or menopausal).

Most of the time, these changes aren’t serious, but your body is always worth listening to.

If something feels different or worrying, our pharmacists are here to help guide you on when to seek further advice.

Sore throat season is here!

Strep throat (bacterial tonsillitis) is more common at this time of year and can cause a high temperature, swelling and white spots at the back of the throat, usually without a cough.

If you have a sore throat with a cough, it is more likely to be viral instead.​

🎥 Watch the video to hear our pharmacist explain what to look out for and how to tell the difference.
