HealthKartPlus, an online drug store, launched its services in Bangalore

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone has to be lightning-quick in order to meet each other’s requirement. Hence HealthKartPlus, an online drug store, has launched its services in the city to offer digital medical assistance for the people.

The portal lets users find out what medicines to take, their correct dosage and even compare drugs by their prices.  The content of the same medicine has various available options, due to which the price can vary up to 70%. For example, for Starnac, which is available for Rs. 45 per packet we found an alternative medicine with same content that’s available for Rs. 35 per packet. Hence it helps you decide the kind of drug you would want to go for.

To find the alternative, users just have to search for the medicines and compare content. If users register on the site they can also save medicines as favorites for future reference, since finding a medicine at some point can actually be a task and a wrong medicine could actually trigger a side effect. Hence , with such services coming in the city it will actually act as a catalyst to the city people in finding the right substitute for the medicine.

A consumer can place orders by entering their pin codes (to check availability of delivery), post which the order is forwarded to the concerned chemist. The minimum order value is Rs 250 (similar to HealthKart.com) and for authenticating the order (since these are prescription drugs), a buyer can either upload the prescription while ordering or verify the same at the time of delivery.
