Generic medicines for UK customers: how MyRxBox works

Paying full price on private prescriptions? Compare generic medicines with clear per-pill prices, understand the UK’s personal import rules and check what you can buy locally first.

Who MyRxBox helps in the United Kingdom

The NHS covers most essential medicines, so why would anyone in the UK order from abroad? Usually because the medicine isn’t available on the NHS for them, or because a private prescription is expensive at a high-street pharmacy. Common examples include:

  • Erectile dysfunction treatments outside NHS criteria, especially daily tadalafil. See our ED pills guide.
  • Skin treatments such as tretinoin prescribed privately. See prescription skin care.
  • Travel and antiparasitic medicines, such as ivermectin and mebendazole.
  • Long-term medicines on private prescriptions after a private consultation.

Most of the generic medicines we supply are made by licensed manufacturers in India and contain the same active ingredients as UK brands. Prices are shown in US dollars with a clear price per pill. Compare them in the medicine price index.

NHS prescriptions vs private prescriptions

Understanding how you’re charged helps you decide whether ordering online makes sense:

RouteWhat you payWhen it’s usually best
NHS prescription in EnglandA flat charge per item, unless you’re exempt; a prepayment certificate caps the cost for frequent usersMedicines your GP prescribes on the NHS
NHS prescription in Scotland, Wales or Northern IrelandFreeAlmost always the cheapest route
Private prescription at a UK pharmacyThe full price of the medicine plus a dispensing feeWhen you need it quickly
Private prescription, ordered internationallyThe listed price plus shipping; often lower for long-term genericsStable, long-term medicines where you can plan ahead

If a medicine is free or cheap on the NHS for you, that’s usually the best option. Ordering internationally is most useful for private prescriptions, larger packs and medicines that aren’t prescribed on the NHS. Our price comparison guide explains how to compare costs fairly, and 15 ways to lower medication costs covers every other option.

UK rules on importing medicines for personal use

Here’s how the rules work in practice:

  • Personal use only. Medicines imported for yourself or your household are treated as personal use. Selling or passing them on to others is not allowed.
  • Reasonable quantities. Up to about three months’ supply is generally regarded as a personal-use quantity. Larger amounts may be stopped by HM Revenue and Customs.
  • No controlled drugs by post. Medicines containing controlled drugs can’t be posted to you from overseas.
  • A prescription still matters. Prescription-only medicines (POMs) are prescription-only for a reason. We require a valid prescription, and it’s sensible to keep a copy with your records.
  • Keep medicines in their original packaging so they can be identified if a parcel is inspected.

The MHRA, the UK’s medicines regulator, warns about fake medicines sold online and recommends using registered pharmacies. UK-based online pharmacies must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and display its internet pharmacy logo. MyRxBox supplies from overseas, so we’re not a GPhC-registered UK pharmacy; we think you should know that before you decide. For a medicine-specific example, read buying ivermectin online in the USA, UK and Australia.

Medicines you can buy over the counter in the UK

Before ordering anything, check whether a UK pharmacy can sell it to you directly after a short consultation. A few examples relevant to our range:

Not sure what’s prescription-only? Look up the generic name in our medicine glossary or use the medicine name decoder.

How ordering works from the UK

  1. Get a prescription from your GP or a private prescriber.
  2. Choose your medicine, strength and pack in our shop, keeping within a personal-use quantity.
  3. Upload your prescription through our secure form; our team checks it before dispatch.
  4. Pay using the details we email you. Orders over $499 get 10% off with code BOX10 plus free shipping.
  5. Track your parcel. International delivery takes longer than a UK pharmacy, so order repeat medicines early. Our guide to refilling a prescription helps you plan.

Your parcel may attract import VAT or handling charges depending on its value and how it’s shipped. If a parcel is held, contact us with your order number.

Staying safe: a checklist for UK buyers

  • Speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting any new medicine, and tell them about medicines you’ve bought online.
  • Make sure the seller asks for a prescription for prescription-only medicines.
  • Check the active ingredient, strength, manufacturer, batch number and expiry date on every pack. See how to read your prescription label.
  • Be wary of “herbal” sexual enhancement or slimming products. Read hidden sildenafil warnings and fake GLP-1 warning signs.
  • Report suspected side effects to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.

Our full checklist is in 7 checks before you buy medicine online. Customers elsewhere can read our USA and Australia guides.

Questions from UK customers

Import rules, delivery, charges and prescriptions.

Still have a question? Contact our team.

UK law doesn’t generally restrict importing medicines for your own or your household’s use, but there are limits: reasonable quantities (around three months’ supply), no controlled drugs by post, and no onward sale. Read the UK rules section.

We require a valid prescription for prescription-only medicines, and our team checks it before dispatch. Keeping your GP informed is also important for your safety.

No. GPhC registration applies to pharmacies operating in Great Britain. MyRxBox supplies medicines internationally from overseas.

Depending on the parcel’s value and how it’s shipped, import VAT or handling fees may apply.

Delivery times depend on shipping and customs. You’ll see an estimate at checkout and receive a tracking number when your order ships.

If the medicine is available to you on the NHS, especially free in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, that’s usually the best option. International ordering is most useful for private prescriptions.

Prices are shown in US dollars. Your bank converts the amount when you pay.

Paying too much for a private prescription?
