Treatment offered
The online clinic services of Dr Fox do not replace your GP.
Dr Fox supplies medicine for conditions including malaria, traveller's diarrhoea and jet lag where treatment on the NHS is not available.
We provide prescription medicine for some conditions such as erectile dysfunction where treatment on the NHS is rationed.
Medicines for conditions including hay fever, thrush, cystitis, cold sores and travel sickness are provided by Dr Fox safely at affordable prices.
We do not carry out online consultations for conditions where face-to-face consultations are required. In situations where questionnaire answers suggest there is a need, we advise patients to see their regular doctors and do not provide a prescription.

Ethos
Dr Fox takes a precautionary approach to prescribing medicine. Where we cannot be confident a medicine can be provided safely online we will not prescribe it.
We do not prescribe medicine that is addictive or likely to be abused.
Dr Fox gives clear information and guidance and provides links to authoritative medical websites including the NHS Choices website. We provide links to data from clinical studies for those interested in this level of detail.
A person obtaining treatment from Dr Fox will know about the condition being treated. They can be sure the medicine supplied is right for them and genuine.
Through our clinic we aim to enable patients to exercise choice and engage in their own care. At the same time a small part of the burden on the NHS is being relieved.
Online clinics are a safe and convenient way for people with busy lives or people with mobility difficulties to obtain prescription medicine.
The doctors responsible for developing the consultations provided by Dr Fox have over 25 years of NHS experience. We are committed to providing services of a high standard and to treating patients with care and respect.
