*Review of the best in the opinion of the editors. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective, not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to purchase. Before the purchase it is necessary to consult with a specialist.
Online shopping is convenient when there is no time to go shopping, when it is possible to order what you need at home. But things are different with internet-pharmacies: according to the Decree of the Russian Federation Government #81 from February 6, 2002 distant purchasing of medicines and their delivery is illegal. This rule eliminates the distribution of counterfeit products and distribution of prescription drugs, which require a doctor’s prescription. Why do we need this service??
Internet pharmacies are convenient accessibility and clarity: on the sites you can find all the necessary information about drugs, find drugs at the right price and form an order in one place. Although, to pay for the purchase remotely and arrange delivery, as we have said, is not possible, but you can choose the nearest pharmacy, where the courier will bring a completed order.
Confidentiality is another important advantage of the service. No need to say the name of drugs or other products out loud when checking out. The pharmacist will study the invoice and if it is in the list of prescription drugs will ask to show the prescription. In its absence, prescription drugs cannot be dispensed under the law.

Rating: 4.7
The online pharmacy Zdravcity not yet such a wide range of drugs and other products than those mentioned above representatives of the pharmaceutical market. However, this young project is rapidly developing throughout Russia – today there are distribution points in 78 regions of the country.

Commodities of the day, the hottest offer for the best price, are updated daily in each section.

Europharm
Rating: 4.6
On the fifth place is the Internet pharmacy Evrofarm, known for its high requirements to product control in accordance with European standards. The company works directly with suppliers, providing loyal pricing policy. The range of goods at the site presents more than 10,000 product positions, missing drugs can be ordered separately, the company will bring them specially for the customer. It is especially convenient when you need to buy rare drugs.
The good news: when buying from 1500 rubles, the client of Internet-pharmacy gets a discount card, which subsequently allows you to get a discount. Also, the site has a “Promotions and discounts” section. If necessary, the pharmacist on duty will help you make a choice of drugs and pick up cheap analogues of the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
In terms of clarity the site is not the most attractive among the reviewed resources, but not bad for intuitive navigation.

Rigla
Rating: 4.5
Website:
The range of products by Rigla online pharmacy includes medicines, medical equipment, and child care products. In the sections “cosmetics”, “hygiene”, “sports and fitness” a few products, but the main lines are in demand, and at a nice price.
The site has good graphics, a pleasant interface and a lot of useful information in separate tabs. There is a section with updated discounts on products. For holders of discount cards, social cards and users of the program “Thank you” the purchase can be the most profitable: Rigla – one of the few pharmacies that summarizes discounts, including products on special offers. There is also a partnership program with “Svyaznoy” stores. Note: the prices of products in the pharmacy are overpriced compared to other online resources, so discounts come in handy.
Delivery in a day is available to Muscovites, the residents of the regions 3-5 days, but the status of the request is not tracked in a private office also no information. Pleased to have a telephone hotline, where you can get help from a pharmacist, but get through is not always – often the line is busy.

Eapteka
Rating: 4.4
Internet pharmacy could become a leader of our review, if it were not for one “but”: it operates only within Central Russia – in Moscow and the region, Vladimir, Tver, Tula, N. Tver, Tula, Novgorod, Obninsk and St. Petersburg. The organization has its own warehouse in the capital, so the delivery of goods is possible, in other cities only the withdrawal of orders from partner pharmacies is available.
In terms of assortment, Eapteka is one of the most crowded: here are prescription and over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, medical equipment, even products for animals. Drugs are divided into categories, the site provides all sorts of filters, so the search for the right items no problem. The price of all products available, in addition, there is always special offers, discount system.

Rating: 4.3
Internet pharmacy works only on the territory of Moscow, St. Petersburg and their regions. But there are more than 1,700 dispensing points for medications and other products in these areas – more than 15,000 items in all. The pharmacy has one of the fastest order processing: you can pick it up in a couple of hours, but if the order was sent before 20:00 hours. If later, it will be staffed the next morning. The site itself works around the clock.
To quickly find the right product, just set the appropriate filters on the site – in this respect the system is well thought out. If necessary, you can place an order and get the goods by phone.
There is a loyalty program: in addition to low prices you can get an additional discount for a purchase brought by your friend – just share your shopping cart with him.

Neopharm
Rating: 4.2
The best online pharmacy Neopharm, which is available only in Moscow and the Moscow region, completes the review. The pharmacy has the option of selecting the nearest pharmacy, and reservations are available for medications and other items. There is no delivery in the network, you have to buy the order in a selected location.
In Neopharm there are promotions, which you can read in the catalogs (they are displayed on the site). The main menu is not easy to find, the products are hidden behind the tab “Assortment. However, not all sections are filled, and this is a minus, which we hope will be eliminated soon.
Neopharm has low prices and bonus programs, including “Thank You” points.
