(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazunori Ogi), which provides new value for pharmacies, announces the renewal of its internet e-commerce site, "Nihon Chouzai Online Store" (https://estore.nicho.co.jp/), which supports the daily health maintenance and improvement of everyone, on April 1, 2026.
**What is "Nihon Chouzai Online Store"?**
It is an internet e-commerce site selling highly functional and high-quality products carefully selected by pharmacists, who are medicine experts, and registered dietitians, who are nutrition experts. We offer a wide variety of healthcare-related products, including general-purpose (OTC) medicines, highly controlled medical devices, health foods, cosmetics, relaxation goods, and nursing care products. In addition, we also sell private brand products developed based on the voices of customers who visit Nihon Chouzai pharmacies.
**3 Points of the Renewal**
1. **Integration with Nihon Chouzai's common account "Nihon Chouzai Account"**
It is now possible to log in using the "Nihon Chouzai Account," a common account used for the electronic medicine notebook "Okusuri Techo Plus" and the online pharmacy service "NiCOMS." This allows you to seamlessly use various online services of Nihon Chouzai. Also, similar to the old online store, information on products purchased at the online store can be checked on the app version of Okusuri Techo Plus along with prescription drug information. By using the functions within the app, you can check for drug interactions with prescription drugs and prevent forgetting to take your medicine *1.
2. **Expansion of Subscription Delivery Services**
In the old online store, the delivery cycle for subscription deliveries was only "once a month," but in the new online store, you can now choose from the following 5 patterns according to your own 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 where it's easier to find desired products**
AI is equipped in the search function within the site, optimizing search algorithms and suggest functions. This realizes improved search speed and stability, supporting stress-free product finding. At the same time, we have established newly dedicated pages for Nihon Chouzai's private brand, the "5COINS PHARMA" series of OTC medicines (non-prescription drugs) generally priced at a uniform 550 yen (tax included) *2, and the "10COINSKAMPO" series of OTC Kampo medicines priced at a uniform 1,100 yen. Simply by following illustrations and charts tailored to specific concerns, you can intuitively choose medicines that suit your own symptoms, constitution, and physical condition.
*1 This is a feature limited to full members of "Okusuri Techo Plus".
*2 Some products in the "5COINS PHARMA" series are priced at 1,100 yen including tax.
Nihon Chouzai will continue to contribute to the further promotion of self-medication and pre-disease prevention, and to the daily health support of everyone through the newly renewed online store.
