Quiz question: what’s the last thing you ordered on a food delivery app like Just Eat? A curry, probably. Maybe chips. Almost certainly not antihistamines.
But plenty of Irish pharmacies are on the app too and they’ll get to your door just as fast as your dinner does.
Just Eat now reaches over 1.1 million customers across Ireland, making it one of the country’s most widely used platforms.
So what can you actually order from a pharmacy on a delivery app like Just Eat?
Here’s a taste of what’s typically available through the delivery app:
Allergy & hay fever: antihistamines for those days when the pollen count catches you off guard.
Baby & childcare: nappies, wipes, baby milk and children’s medicines for late-night emergencies every parent knows too well.
Vitamins & supplements: from vitamin D to multivitamins, topped up without a special trip to the shops.
First aid: plasters, antiseptic, the basics for when something small goes wrong at home.
Skincare: moisturisers, treatments and everyday essentials.
Fake tan: a genuine Irish pharmacy bestseller, delivered before your plans tonight.
Personal care & sexual wellness: the kind of things you’d rather order with a couple of taps than browse for in a queue.
Cough, cold & flu: because those symptoms never seem to strike during opening hours.
Why order from a pharmacy on Just Eat?
A few reasons people are switching to delivery apps:
- It’s fast. Orders arrive in under 30 minutes, similar to ordering dinner.
- It’s from a real, registered pharmacy. Not an anonymous online seller, an actual local pharmacy team preparing your order.
- It’s convenient. No queueing, no driving, no waiting for tomorrow.
Worth knowing for the next rainy Tuesday
You don’t need a takeaway craving to open the delivery app. Next time hay fever hits or the cough won’t quit, «pharmacy» might be a more useful search than «pizza.»
