Deliveroo has launched a brand new service delivering last-minute medicine just in time for cold and flu season.
The online food delivery company has announced that it will be branching out to over-the-counter medication for coughs, colds and mild pain as winter approaches.
It has teamed up with major partners including Boots Pharmacy, Lloyds Pharmacy and Morrisons for the new service.
Customers can order their cold and flu essentials on Deliveroo from today (October 18) by placing their orders directly through the Deliveroo app, or online.
Deliveroo launches medicine delivery service for cold and flu season
You can order cold and flu relief products and medicines like nasal decongestant sprays, cough sweet lozenges and Strepsils, Vicks VapoRub, anaesthetic throat sprays and more to your door in as little as 20 minutes.
Parents with poorly kids will have access to delivery for a range of children's medicine too like Nurofen Child Strawberry and Calpol in a variety of different-sized bottles.
A spokesperson from Deliveroo said: “Nobody wants to be running around the shops when they’re feeling under the weather, that’s why we want our customers to know that Deliveroo delivers cold and flu essential products straight to their doors, in as little as a speedy 20 minutes.
"Deliveroo data has revealed that Lemsip Max Cold & Flu is the most ordered item in the cold and flu section via the app, followed by Strepsils Honey and Lemon and Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray. It goes to show that customers are looking for a quick pain relief when shopping for cold and flu products!”
