Can I show the pharmacist my health condition over video?
The Health Insider service is to support you with product selection when shopping online, we appreciate you may want to show the pharmacist over video the reason for your purchase, please make sure that you only show areas of skin which would usually be visible in public.
We will need to terminate the call if the pharmacist is shown intimate or personal areas. The quality of the video will depend on internet connection, signal etc so the pharmacist is not able to diagnose a condition over video, and for these you may need to speak to a GP.Can I speak to the pharmacist about my Superdrug prescription?
The pharmacy team for Health Insider does not have access to your Superdrug prescription information or medical record therefore they are unable to support you with any prescriptions you have ordered through Superdrug. For any queries regarding eNHS, Online Dr, prescriptions or general support, please head to Contact Us.
