In the UK opiates like codeine and dihydrocodeine are found not only in prescription medicines but also in over the counter medicines like Nurofen Plus, Solpadeiene and Syndol. This list is not exhaustive.  

Peak Pharmacy Online recognises that opiates are a very useful class of drugs and when used correctly may provide excellent relief from occasional moderate pain. For this reason, Peak Pharmacy Online will continue to sell “over the counter”. Peak Pharmacy Online is a trading name of the Manor Drug Company (Nottingham) Ltd who operate several human pharmacy websites.  This policy applies across all the Manor Drug Company trading names, these include Peak Pharmacy Online, Cox & Robinson Pharmacy and TravelPharm.  

In order to ensure supplies made are appropriate, we have set our below the minimum duration of time we expect between orders and the maximum amount that may be ordered. This means that there is clear unambiguous guidance to ensure that we retail medicines in a safe and professional manner, minimising the risk of medication misuse.  

Peak Pharmacy Online reserves the right to cancel any order where we suspect medication misuse and would encourage anyone who suspects they may be suffering from an addiction to opiate pain killers to speak with their GP or contact FRANK on 0300 123 6600 for confidential advice.

Over the counter product licences permit a maximum of 3 days of consecutive use.  This is to reduce the risk of opiate addiction.  

The Manor Drug Company Nottingham reserves the right to cancel orders that do not comply with our policies or to delay shipping of these orders if deemed unacceptable or inappropriate.  You should be notified by email if we cancel or delay shipping.
