What's involved in the Polypill Prevention Programme?
1 Complete an Online Assessment
Complete an online assessment that enables our doctors to judge your eligibility for the programme. In general, you may be eligible for the preventive medication offered if you are 50 or over and have no history of cardiovascular disease.
2 Your medication is dispatched
If you are eligible, a doctor will allow you to request a prescription for the medication. Prescriptions are sent securely and electronically to our partner, Cohens Chemist, for dispensing and dispatch of medicine on the same or following working day.
3 Follow-up from our doctors
A doctor is available to talk to whilst you are on the programme. Our doctors are always happy to discuss the preventive medication and any feedback you may have.
Eligibility and preventive medication
The Polypill Prevention Programme is suitable if you are aged 50 or over and do not have a history of cardiovascular disease. There are other factors that need to be assessed by the online doctor, not everyone will be eligible for a prescription. For example, you will not be eligible if you are taking certain medicines that may interfere with medicines that are included in the Polypill Prevention Programme. If the doctor considers you eligible you will be prescribed 20 weeks worth of medication per prescription. The service fee is £235 for a 20 weeks supply. You will be automatically reminded to request a repeat prescription before your supply is used up.
Currently we are only able to issue prescriptions where the delivery address is in the United Kingdom.
Click "Start Assessment" to start a free online assessment. A doctor will reply. Alternatively you can call 020 7600 3205 to submit your assessment by phone.
The programme costs £235 every 20 weeks.

Confirming your request for a prescription
A confirmation email will be sent to you at the time you request a prescription. You can see the details in your online account. Our doctors endeavour to process your assessments within three days.
Packaging and dispatch
The Polypill medications are dispatched using Royal Mail Tracked 48 with Signature.
Most are dispatched on the day the prescription is issued or on the next working day
except at weekends. If you need to enquire about a delivery
please contact us.
Declined requests for a prescription
If for any reason the doctor requires additional information prior to issuing a
prescription you will find a message in your online account or you will receive
a phone call. If for any reason a request for a prescription is declined you will be informed of the
reasons and refunded in full to the same payment card.
Cancelling a request for a prescription
You can cancel a request for a prescription up until the point where our doctor issues your prescription. To cancel your request please contact the polypill.com team. If your request is not cancelled and the medication is dispensed, we cannot accept returns for reasons of safety and as a result we are unable to issue refunds for medication that has been dispensed. If you have unwanted medicines please take them to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
