## What is 'Ouchi Byoin'?
'Ouchi Byoin' is an online medical service that supports users as a life partner, from online medical consultations to health management.
It allows patients to receive consultations even on weekends, holidays, early mornings, or late evenings (currently 8:00 to 22:00) when general hospitals and clinics are closed. Consultations start at the reserved time, and up to 15 minutes of consultation time are secured, ensuring patients can consult and be examined by a doctor with peace of mind. As a result, over 90% of its users are working individuals, making it particularly convenient for those who are typically busy with work.
For prescription pickup, 'Ouchi Byoin' partners with major dispensing pharmacies and drugstores with dispensing pharmacies, which have stable stock levels and variety. Prescriptions are automatically transmitted, allowing patients to set their pickup location according to their daily schedule, whether it's near their home, workplace, or even a hotel where they are staying. This makes the service especially easy to use for busy working individuals who cannot visit hospitals during open hours, or for those with small children who previously found it difficult to visit hospitals and clinics.
## Prescription Pickup Now Available at Nearby 'Sundrug Dispensing Stores'
Sundrug's dispensing pharmacies are community-based pharmacies that, backed by a drugstore network of 1,542 stores nationwide (as of the fiscal year ending March 2025, consolidated), provide prescription dispensing, OTC medicine sales, and health consultations in an integrated manner. They comprehensively support the health management of patients as 'family pharmacies' in their communities.
Many dispensing stores are also co-located with drugstores, which increases convenience as patients can purchase daily necessities simultaneously with picking up prescriptions from online medical consultations.
The partnership with Sundrug will further improve the convenience of 'Ouchi Byoin'.
