Meet Pharmabox24: the pharmacy that’s always open! The new pharmacy tool is a real automated retail shop that is accessible 24/7, perfect for when we forget to buy products for our itchy eyes, herbal cough syrups and maybe baby’s diapers and milk! Maybe it's Sunday and we've got a burn from your beach day, we can even get our after sun cream from here, too. #Lifesaver

The unit has an in-built air conditioner in it to keep the products cool, especially in the current heat we’re experiencing, and it caters for everyone, with features such as a voice guide system, a big colour monitor, a multi-coluour keyboard and advanced software, guaranteeing ease of purchase.
