Blinkit wants to bring you medicines in minutes
Quick commerce platform Blinkit has begun piloting the delivery of prescription medicines in select parts of Bengaluru, expanding its offerings beyond over-the-counter (OTC) medications, reported YourStory. As per news reports, the service now includes antibiotics, nasal sprays, eye drops, ointments, and antihistamines.
Customers can access free doctor consultations after placing an order, particularly if they are unable to upload a valid prescription. Blinkit’s app notes that orders are fulfilled by licensed pharmacies and delivered in tamper-proof packaging, although the company has not officially commented on the scale or partners involved in the pilot.
