UkMedix Breaking Safety News: UK Online Pharmacy Puts Customers Health First and Profits Later

London, UK (PRWEB) July 24, 2007 -- An industry notoriously abused by some has taken a u-turn in the UK. It's not breaking news that online pharmacies often think of money before their customers health and that when the term "Viagra" is mentioned we all think of internet spam or an industry associated with fraud.

It's about time the medical supplies industry took their responsibility seriously. Fortunately, one such company is doing so and hopes to lead the way for others to follow.

To ensure customer safety, UKMedix and a network of UK wide pharmacies have introduced a system called PharmaCheck (http://www.ukmedix.com/pharmacy-check-uk.cfm). Pharmacheck is a unique service that allows a customer to verify the dispensing pharmacy for their order. The verification means that purchasers of certain pharmaceutical products can see if their chosen supplier is licensed in the UK and therefore regulated.

The pharmacist is responsible for the medication thats used,the system of checks and double checks is designed to help optimise the safety of all its patients. It's difficult enough when having to order medication of a personal nature online without the added stress of knowing if that medication is what it says it is.

In recent years the production of more 'generic' medication has caused confusion to a lot of potential patients, often making them nervous about their online medical order.

With the proliferation of rogue internet operations the possibility of buying fake and unreliable medicine has increased. The unique PharmaCheck service aims to offer the customer a security and transparency that cannot be matched elsewhere. This level of confidence applies to every order.

This pharmacy verification process applies to all dispensed treatments, including Viagra, to ensure that all pharmaceutical products are fully branded and licensed. To verify an order UkMedix get you to follow three simple steps. Step 1, date of order, Step 2, location and finally Step 3 a security code. This "know the pharmacy" service is free of charge.

Health is one of the most important things, not only does this company want to demonstrate the importance of this to its customers but it hopes that others will follow suite. The internet is a valuable medium for selling and should be used in a way to benefit others, not just for profit and ignorance concerning health issues.

Working together and builiding a high level of reassurance to patients will become essential over forthcoming years and UKMedix online safety campaign is set to change the future of online pharmacy sales.
