SHOP APOTHEKE convinces one of Germany’s leading broadcaster in their test of online pharmacies.

WISO, the well-known TV show that deals with the rights of consumers comes up with a clear message: If you look for real good advice, there’s no alternative to 

More than half of the German Internet users order drugs online. That is a clear outcome of the new study by the digital association Bitkom (11/2016), which is currently being discussed by more and more German leading media. Now ZDF - according to ARD and n-tv - has tested the most successful online pharmacies for their quality. Cheap prices and punctual delivery, all fine… but what about the quality of the expert advice by the pharmacies? WISO, one of the leading broadcasting for consumer information on German public television wanted to know exactly this and examined the four most successful online pharmacies. The program with the test of the online pharmacies was broadcasted on 27 March 2017 and reached over 2.6 million viewers. It is available free of charge in the ZDF-Mediathek.

The result of the test: Only when you choose SHOP APOTHEKE, consumers receive a proactive, complete and correct advice when ordering medicines. For the test, two medications - prescription-free and prescription - were ordered twice, which are contraindicated and therefore should not be taken in combination. WISO: 

"Only SHOP APOTHEKE has pointed out the interactions that have been sought and properly advised in both samples."

Theresa Holler, responsible pharmacist and Chief Operational Officer of SHOP APOTHEKE, very much appreciates the fact that pharmacies on the Internet are always being critically reviewed, as this improves overall drug safety for consumers: 

"We are pioneers in this regard. This is good and important, because the individual, well-founded customer advice will decide about the success of an online pharmacy in the future,”
