Nihon Chouzai Co., Ltd. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kazunori Ogi), which provides new value for pharmacies, announced the renewal of its internet mail-order site, "Nihon Chouzai Online Store" (https://estore.nicho.co.jp/), on April 1, 2026, to support everyone's daily health maintenance and promotion. **What is "Nihon Chouzai Online Store"?** It is an internet mail-order site that sells high-performance and high-quality products carefully selected by pharmacists, who are experts in medicine, and registered dietitians, who are experts in nutrition. It offers a wide range of healthcare-related products, including over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, highly controlled medical devices, health foods, cosmetics, relaxation goods, and nursing care products. In addition, it also sells private brand products developed based on feedback from customers who visit Nihon Chouzai pharmacies. **Three Key Points of the Renewal** 1. **Linked with Nihon Chouzai's Common Account "Nihon Chouzai Account"** Login is now possible with the common account "Nihon Chouzai Account," which is used for the electronic medication record "Okusuri Techo Plus" and the online pharmacy service "NiCOMS." This enables seamless use of various Nihon Chouzai online services. As with the old online store, information on products purchased at the online store can be checked in the app version of Okusuri Techo Plus, along with prescription drug information. By using the functions within the app, users can check for drug interactions with their prescription medications and help prevent missed doses*1. 2. **Expanded Subscription Service** In the old online store, the subscription delivery cycle was only "once a month," but with the new online store, users can now choose from **five patterns** according to their lifestyle: ① Once every 4 weeks ② Once every 5 weeks ③ Once every 6 weeks ④ Once every 7 weeks ⑤ Once every 8 weeks. 3. **A More User-Friendly Site, Easier to Find Desired Products** The site's **search function is equipped with AI**, optimizing search algorithms and suggestion features. This achieves improved search speed and stability, supporting stress-free product searching. Additionally, new dedicated pages have been established for Nihon Chouzai's private brand OTC medicine series "5COINS PHARMA," which is generally priced at 550 yen (tax included)*2, and the OTC Kanpo medicine series "10COINSKAMPO," priced at 1,100 yen. By following illustrations and charts based on symptoms, users can intuitively select medicines that suit their own symptoms, constitution, and physical condition.
