Online Pharmacies - Our Saviors in the Pandemic

The aggressive proliferation of the novel corona-virus has wholly altered how things usually used to be perceived and implemented. Hence, the global community has experienced some significant alterations in nearly all sectors and aspects of life. With the imposition of lockdown on a global level, the acquisition of groceries and medicines has been limited to a great extent. Now, the majority of the population is adopting online grocery and medicine shopping. This practice has culminated fruitful results in reducing the overall number of coronavirus cases and needs to be promoted and adopted shortly to limit the furious pace at which this pandemic is evolving.

Taking this point into consideration, the crucial reasons for promoting online pharmacies have been highlighted below:

Overcrowded and hugged pharmacies

The furious propagation of this virus, along with the persistence of other chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma, has undoubtedly forced the masses to hoard medicines and flock and gather at congested pharmacies. These overcrowded pharmacies have eventually proved in serving as a channel to gather both healthy and infected individuals and with negligence in the use of facial masks and other hygienic practices such as the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, it is very easy for this deadly pathogen to progress from one individual to another. Hence the option of online pharmacies has served as a blessing in these alarming conditions. You need to order your required products without the fear of visiting hugged outlets used by most of the population suspected of this virus.

Hoarding of medicinal drugs

Due to the rising number of fatalities and cases daily, not only has panic and fear inculcated amongst the masses, but the supply-demand ratio of pharmaceutical products has been severely affected. Many malicious individuals have considered these alarming conditions an opportunity and have initiated medicinal products' hoarding. This has resulted in products being disappeared from the local market and eventually available at many inflated rates. However, the introduction and use of online pharmacy for pharmaceutical products is in a continuous attempt to tackle such a vindictive mindset so that every individual is provided with an equal opportunity to use the life-saving medicinal drugs at their original and actual cost.

Helpful for Covid patients

Lastly, the introduction of online pharmacies has played a pivotal role in supporting patients and infected individuals who have been strictly advised to regularly use their medicinal drugs, maintain their quarantine and isolation period, and take ample amount of rest and involve themselves in healthy activities like painting, and cooking. These acts will gradually alleviate the symptoms. 

Conclusion

Although corona times have been very harsh and painstaking, we must be resilient with the ultimate aim to limit and eventually eliminate the existence of this pathogen. The government and other responsible agencies are planning accordingly to limit its active propagation, but it will certainly not be possible until each one of us acts responsibly and adopts all the required safety measures.
