DD provides the ability to save up to 20 Favourites Lists, so you can easily repeat common purchases. Favourites Lists are created by saving a Basket on the checkout page. Once saved, items can be removed or moved to another Favourites List.

Some products that you see on DD will not be available for purchase until verification is complete. We understand this may be frustrating, but it is a vital step in ensuring both compliance and patient safety in relation to the use of restricted medicines.

To order restricted products, you must be a registered professional who has filled out a customer account form, and a medicine authorisation form. Both of these forms can be found under the legal section of the website.

We will also need a valid copy of photo ID in the form of a Driving Licence or Passport for the Account Holder(s) and person(s) stated in the Medicine Authorisation form (if different from the Account Holder.)

Subject to circumstances such as your location, we may require further documents. Such as a valid copy of indemnity insurance, to show adequate cover for the medical professional relating to procedures at the business address.

We are required by our regulators (MHRA) to periodically request the completion of medicine qualification checks. These checks are to ensure that the details we hold regarding you and your practice are up to date and that medicines are only sent to those authorised to receive them.
