Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment Service

How can Anytime Pharmacy help me?

We provide this regulated, specialist service for patients who wish to obtain treatment in advance for intermittent irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Your online doctor can provide you with an online consultation, private prescription and your medicine will be sent to your home or work address.

What are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

• abdominal (tummy) pain or discomfort that can often be relieved by going to the toilet (passing stools)
• changes in bowel habits, such as episodes of constipation or diarrhoea
• abdominal bloating

How common is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

IBS is one of the most common digestive conditions. In England, an estimated 10-20% of people have IBS. Symptoms of IBS usually begin in early adulthood when a person is 20 to 30 years old. IBS is twice as common in women than in men.

How does the Anytime Pharmacy service work?

Step 1:	Register online and complete the free online medical questionnaire consultation. A doctor will review your questionnaire and, if it is safe to do so, approve you for treatment. You do not pay for your doctor consultation.
Step 2:	If you are approved for treatment you will be sent a text message asking you to log back into your secure patient record. You can pay for your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) treatment using a debit or credit card.
Step 3:	You will be sent a FREE SMS (text message) when a doctor has sent your prescription to your nominated pharmacy. We advise you to call your nominated pharmacy to check your prescription is ready, then collect your medicine.

Why are no prices shown for Anytime Pharmacy treatment services?

Under current UK advertising law we cannot show you prescription-only-medicine (POM) prices prior to a medical consultation with a registered doctor. Once your doctor has approved you for treatment all prices are clearly displayed. Your registration and medical consultation is free and you are under no obligation to purchase any treatment.

All of our prices are fully inclusive, and so for prescription medicines the prices include the cost of the consultation, the issuing of a private prescription, and dispensing of the medicine itself. There are no hidden extras.
