Automating vitamins and first aid from the UK to Nigeria
Your family's first aid kit is half-empty and the vitamins expired three months ago. Set up automated delivery of essentials from pharmacies in our network.
Everything a Nigerian household should have stocked, categorised by priority:
First Aid Basics
| Item | Purpose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Paracetamol (500mg tablets and/or syrup) | Pain relief, fever | Replace when finished |
| Ibuprofen (200mg or 400mg) | Anti-inflammatory | Replace when finished |
| Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) | Dehydration treatment | Essential. Always stock |
| Antiseptic solution (Dettol, Savlon) | Wound cleaning | Every 3–6 months |
| Plasters / wound dressings | Minor wound care | Replace when finished |
| Thermometer | Temperature check | Once, replace as needed |
Vitamins & Supplements
| Item | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (1000mg) | Immune support | Daily |
| Multivitamin (Wellman/Wellwoman) | General nutrition | Daily |
| Vitamin D | Bone health | Especially important for elderly parents |
| Omega-3 fish oil | Heart and brain health | Quality varies. Pharmacy-grade only |

Seasonal Add-Ons

Most Nigerian households run out of these gradually, and nobody replaces them until someone gets sick.
How to send a health supply box
Step 1: Select the items your family needs. Start with the essentials: Paracetamol, ORS, Vitamin C, multivitamins. Add specific items based on family members' needs.
Step 2: Enter your family's delivery address. Pay with your international card from the US or UK.
Step 3: Delivered same-day, 1-hour. Everything arrives in one package.
Step 4 (optional): Set it to repeat quarterly. Every 3 months, the system triggers a reorder. Your family's first aid kit and vitamin supply stay stocked without anyone having to remember.

Why this matters more than you think
Most Nigerians self-medicate with whatever is available in the house when they feel unwell. If what's in the house is expired Paracetamol and no ORS, a simple case of food poisoning becomes a trip to the hospital.
A stocked first aid kit and current vitamins prevent the small problems from becoming expensive emergencies.
