Pharmacy context
This is a distance‐selling pharmacy (www.medexpress.co.uk). The pharmacy only dispenses private prescriptions generated by a CQC-registered prescribing service. Medicines are delivered via courier to people living in the UK. The pharmacy also delivers to people in the EU via Ireland. The types of medicines mainly dispensed are for conditions such as erectile dysfunction, weight management, hair loss, and asthma.

What do the inspection outcomes mean?
After an inspection each pharmacy receives one overall outcome. This will be either Standards met or Standards not all met
The pharmacy has met all the standards for registered pharmacies | |
The pharmacy has not met one or more of the standards for registered pharmacies |
What does 'pharmacy has not met all standards' mean?
When a pharmacy has not met all standards, they are required to complete an improvement action plan, which you can find via a link at the top left of this page. We monitor progress to check the improvements are made and inspect again after six months to make sure the pharmacy is maintaining these improvements. A new report will then be published.
