What NowExpress is

NowExpress is an online pharmacy in the Philippines. It holds an FDA License to Operate and is LegitScript certified. Patients order prescription treatment online. A licensed Philippine doctor reviews their health information and, if treatment is appropriate, issues a prescription. A licensed pharmacist dispenses it, and the order is delivered to the patient's home in plain packaging. NowExpress also sells laboratory tests, imaging and an at-home test kit.

NowExpress is built by the team behind NowServing and SeriousMD. The team has worked in Philippine healthcare for more than 10 years.

What NowExpress is not

  • Not a hospital, clinic or emergency service. Anyone with a medical emergency should go to the nearest hospital.

  • Not covered by insurance or HMO at this time. Services are self-pay.
  • Not for minors. The service is for adults.

How prescription orders work

  1. The patient answers a health questionnaire or medical-history form on the site: medical history, current medicines and other details the doctor needs.
  2. A licensed Philippine doctor reviews the answers and decides whether treatment is appropriate. Doctors use their own medical judgment; approval is not automatic.
  3. If treatment is appropriate, the doctor issues a prescription and a licensed pharmacist dispenses the medicine.
  4. The order is delivered in plain, unbranded packaging that does not show what is inside.
