When Is a Replacement Considered?
A replacement review may be initiated if:
Lost in Transit: The parcel is officially confirmed as lost by the courier.
Delivery Failure: A formal courier investigation confirms the delivery was unsuccessful.
Damaged or Unusable: The medication arrives in a condition that prevents safe use.
All cases must be fully verified by MedExpress before a replacement can be authorised.
What Information Is Required for a Replacement Review?
To investigate accurately and safely, MedExpress may ask you to provide:
A detailed description of the issue.
Photos or video evidence of the parcel, the outer packaging, and the contents.
Confirmation of your full delivery details.
How Does MedExpress Investigate a Delivery Issue?
MedExpress works directly with the courier to:
Review all available tracking information.
Confirm the final delivery status.
Complete a formal investigation where required.
Once the courier review is complete, MedExpress's Customer Care Team will assess the outcome and confirm the next steps with you.
What Counts as Unusable Medication?
Medication is typically considered unusable if:
Physical Damage: The pen or device is visibly broken or cracked.
Contamination: The medication shows signs of leakage, particles, or unusual cloudiness.
Temperature Exposure: There is confirmed exposure to temperatures outside of the safe storage limits.
Damage to the outer cardboard packaging alone does not usually mean the medication inside is unusable.
What Safety and Regulatory Requirements Apply to Replacements?
As a regulated UK pharmacy, all replacements must adhere to strict clinical guidelines:
Medication cannot be resupplied without proper verification.
All decisions prioritise patient safety and legal compliance.
All replacements must follow UK pharmacy and safety regulations.
