What is Parallel Imported Medicine?

Parallel import allows a medicine authorized in European Economic Area (EEA) Member State to be marketed and sold in the UK, as long as the imported product has no therapeutic difference from the cross-referenced UK product. These products are 100% identical to the original medication – same formulation and active ingredient. Although a parallel import may be sold under a different name, may bear non-English language, and comes in a different packaging, these products have undergone the same rigorous quality assurance measures that Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have set for all products being sold in the United Kingdom.

Because of parallel importation, our partners in the UK are able to source medications at a more affordable price, hence passing on the savings to the patients.
