West Coast Pharmaceuticals is soon going to make an investment worth Rs.50 lakh on their recently launched India’s first e–commerce online pharmacy drug store under the name www.drugneed.com. Through this online pharmacy, patients can buy any Over-The-Counter (OTC) drugs that does not need a prescription over the internet. Till now, West Cost Pharmaceuticals have invested around Rs.45 lakh for the development of this online pharmacy.

Though this online pharmacy was started by Parth Patel, CEO of Drugneed.com last year with around 2000 non-prescribed, personal and beauty products, he is now adding other categories like neutraceutical, wellness, healthcare, nutrient supplements, mineral products shortly. “Our aim by creating this online pharmacy drugneed.com was to provide a platform so that everyone can get an easy access to the daily needed products at their door steps. We are hopeful that soon we will see drugneed as one of the best online shopping sites for OTC medicines in the near future,” informed Patel.

Patel said that seeing the response from the online buyers, the company has decided to further expand the business by adding more categories to its list for which the company will soon invest around Rs.50 lakh.

As of now drugneed delivers to around 1500 cities and towns across the country and around the world. He informed that the company is amazed by the enormous response that this website has received for serving thousands of national and international customers. Patel added, “Today we are able to sell around 10 to 12 products every day without marketing about them which is a great factor. Our website drugneed.com is the best solution for shopping as it provides patients or buyers with thousands of choices especially for those products which are some times not available at the retail level.”

Drugneed.com would work as a catalyst for small and medium manufacturers for selling and promoting their products at global level without the need to spend crores of rupees on advertising and marketing.
