Get Medicines Fast! Foodora Partners with Dr. Max for Quick Delivery

Delivery service Foodora has expanded its offerings to include over-the-counter medicines, now available for home delivery in partnership with Dr. Max pharmacies.

This service is currently active in Prague and Brno, with plans to extend it to Ostrava soon.

This service is a response to the increasing demand for fast delivery, especially during times when health concerns are a priority.

“We aim to provide everything our users might need throughout the day, including essential medicines,” said Adam Kolesa, CEO of Foodora. He emphasized that working with Dr. Max is a logical step in making over-the-counter medicines more accessible.

High Demand for Cold and Pain Remedies

The service was initially tested in central Prague, where it received a strong response from customers. The product range includes not only medicines but also supplements and toiletries. The most popular items have been flu and cold treatments, such as nasal sprays and hot drinks like Coldrex, Paralen, and Strepsils.

Pain relievers like Ibalgin have also been in high demand. Within just a few months, Foodora has sold over 177 different types of medicines, showing the service’s popularity.

A Growing Trend in Quick Medicine Delivery

Similar services have been gaining traction internationally. In Germany, a nationwide service launched in January 2021 delivers over-the-counter medicines within minutes. This trend highlights the growing demand for fast and convenient medicine delivery, not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide.

The collaboration between Foodora and Dr. Max also reflects how e-commerce continues to evolve, adapting to modern life where time is a valuable resource.
