Be careful when considering health care needs as you may run afoul of HIPAA (USA) and be open to liability especially when correlating medicines and individuals. Some may argue prescriptions are considered Protected Health Information (PHI).

Thanks to Max for advice.

Maybe I can change instead of medicines maybe products like Gel alcohol, masks and products with no necessary prescriptions.

I'll read more about this because the country that I'm living right now, it's possible to send an SMS for the pharmacies and you go there and get your medicines.

Really thanks
:)
