Customers need to call on the service center number. LifCare then sends it own pharmacists to the customer’s house to verify the prescriptions. After which, the medicines are delivered at the required place. In case of refills at a constant intervals, the customer will have to register themselves with the startup.

“Keeping track of medicinal supplies, getting authentic and genuinely priced medicines month after month and service with real care is something which is invaluable to our patients.
