In such medical situations, doorstep medicine delivery is a boon given us by the digital world. No matter where you are and at what you have an emergency, there is someone who is there to get you medicine at the right time.
During the Covid-19 pandemic when the whole country went into a lockdown, the concept of medicine delivery came into the limelight. Earlier there were few companies doing that, but online medicine platforms saw a sudden surge in the past year. And just like grocery and vegetables, we saw the concept of getting medicines delivered at the doorstep turn into a reality.
But How E-Pharmacies Are Better Than Traditional Pharmacies?
Drawbacks Of Online Medicine Delivery Systems
There is no doubt that online medicine delivery systems have been a remarkable addition to the whole pharmaceutical sector. But every good thing comes with a set of drawbacks too. One of the major setbacks with E-pharmacies is many unfortunate incidents can happen during the delivery.
For instance, the rider can deliver the medicines to the wrong person especially kids at home. They can either forget to inform about the package or consume it themselves. This is dangerous in both cases.
There are many such small instances that can lead to serious mishaps. Thus there are many challenges faced during the online medicine delivery systems, but there is a solution to it which has been followed by E-pharmacies.
- A pharmacy delivery service should not deliver medicines without approval from a doctor. Also, a pharmacist should be involved in setting up a medicine delivery system.
- The rider should ask the patient his identity to ensure the parcel is handed over to the right person. And in case of the patient’s absence, an alternative address should be taken to ensure the parcel is safe before it reaches the right hand.
- The rider should not leave the parcel at the doorstep to ensure that there is no case of theft & misuse of the drugs.
Future Trends In E-Pharmacy Sector
- It is estimated the topical drug delivery market will see a surge in CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Report) in this period.
- Globally the pharmaceutical drug delivery market is expected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2023.
With the world moving towards digitization, the evolvement of online medicine delivery systems has been a boon. Now people can avoid the hassle of standing in lines and can get their medicines from the comfort of their home.
In the coming years, the pharmaceutical industry will see more growth & surge in terms of online operations. Now without any fear of your medicines getting out of stock, get medicines at any hour of the day with just one click.
