Online Prescriptions - Why MyRepeats is different to other sites

Written by Lee Colbran - 09.08.07

You can buy Viagra online right?

You can also buy Cialis online, you can also buy Acomplia online along with a whole raft of prescription drugs which are perhaps dubbed as a taboo subject. (incorrectly in my opinion)

Typically these are not the kind of drugs that you would normally nip into your local pharmacist for. (with the exception of Boots, who now do sell limited quantities of Viagra over the counter)

In fact why are online prescriptions treated in the same undertone as pornographic sites or online gambling? The reason there are so many sites selling the likes of Viagra, Cialis and Acomplia online is simply because there is huge demand! Without demand there is no market, without demand there are no online pharmacy website, and that is why the web is awash with ever increasing numbers of online pharmacy sites that market products within the ‘Taboo’ sector of online pharmacies.

So now that Fresh Egg have just launched MyRepeats.com, how does this site differ from lets say The Online Clinic who have been offering online prescriptions for a long period of time?

Here’s How: - The Online Clinic offer very distinct solutions to very real problems, they concentrate on core products where there is known to be a market. If you have problems with Impotence or are affected by weight issues or you are are suffering from hair loss or wish to stop smoking then The Online Clinic is the online prescription site for you. The Online Clinic allows you to buy Viagra, Cialis, Xenical and Acomplia.

Online Prescriptions Look at the two medical sites with the Yin/Yan principle, they are so alike, yet they are at opposite poles.

MyRepeats offers a repeat prescription service (albeit a trial in Worthing) for anyone that is on long-term medication or has bulky items on prescription such as Oxygen, for those people MyRepeats.com could turn out to be an absolute gem of a site.

To be fair my local Boots has always looked after any prescription requirements very well. The prescription collection service works well, but I always felt it was lacking one vital ingredient, and it is this vital ingredient that MyRepeats has, it is its Unique Selling Point, and it will be what its success thrives upon. MyRepeats will deliver your repeat prescriptions.

Here are more reasons why using MyRepeats could be advantageous for long-term repeat prescription users.

E-mail reminder of when you are running low on your medication
Optional free delivery service
The site stores your previous medication history
MyRepeats.com is a Secure Site, your information is safe

There are other ways MyRepeats differs from The Online Clinic. When applying for a prescription from The Online Clinic your requirements have to be approved by a UK registered Doctor. In order to be approved for a prescription and buy Viagra from The Online Clinic you do have to complete a thorough questionnaire upon your current health status. I was extremely impressed when I tested this system on The Online Clinic as my initial application which was completed using incorrect information was thrown out by the Doctor who reviewed it.

MyRepeats is very different, you do not have to qualify your medical history, your Doctor is already aware of this. MyRepeats interacts with the major Doctors surgeries within the Worthing area, you simply select which Doctors practice you are affiliated with and your contact details.

Once this information is in place you then move on to enter your prescription details which you simply copy across from a recent prescription. It is that easy! Once you have entered the information you then move on to select a pharmacy of your choice, your preferred delivery date and whether you would like delivery of the repeat prescription in the morning or afternoon. You can also choose to pick-up your repeat prescription from your designated pharmacy.

The hassle of obtaining repeat prescriptions is over for the good for the people of Worthing! MyRepeats offers an online repeat prescription service that works!

I will say that standard prescription reviews are still applicable. The MyRepeats system is not open for abuse; it is a very functional solution that will make the lives of many people who are dependant on constant medication a lot easier. From my time spent on the site I can see it being a major success.

MyRepeats.com is like a breath of fresh air in the online pharmacy market - It’s different, it’s functional and serves a purpose to the whole community.
