The Evolution of the Online Pharmacy or Internet Pharmacy – Infographic

Growth of the Internet Pharmacy

Ten years ago, the internet connectivity was relatively slow but nowadays we have high-speed internet connectivity where ever we go. This has led to more consumers looking for products and services online. This is very much the case with medications especially in countries where they are very expensive.

Combine the internet speed with the growth of personal computers and smartphones and you have a very potent combination especially for the new generation of shoppers and also the older generation who have some kind of disability or limitation in getting to a physical pharmacy or store.

You can now compare prices of products online and the availability of a broader range of online medical products is driving more patients to use the internet pharmacy by ditching their traditional counterpart.

Why Do People Use Online Pharmacies

• Low-Cost Prescriptions – Online pharmacies have cost savings due to the lack of a physical store and maybe even the location from where they operate. They are then able to pass these cost savings to consumers as discounts.
• Convenience – You can place orders from your home, work or even a café with a Wi-Fi access.
• Availability – They are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
• Anonymity – Your privacy and identity are protected as you are dealing with an online store.
