UPAA Botika ng Alumni: How to Order Medicines via Viber

The University of the Philippines Alumni Association continues to make healthcare more accessible through Botika ng Alumni, in partnership with Planet Drugstore.

‍

This initiative provides a simple and guided way to order medicines via Viber, making it easier for the UP community to access affordable, quality medication while ensuring proper documentation and reliable delivery.

‍

Here’s how the process works.

‍

‍

Step 1: Send a Message

Start by messaging Planet Drugstore on Viber at:

📱 +63 966 235 1127

This initiates your order and connects you directly with their team.

‍

Step 2: Review the Pricelist

Once connected, you will receive a Medicine Price List. Take time to:

  • Review available medicines
  • Compare brands and prices
  • Choose your preferred options

‍

Step 3: Fill Out the Order Form

You will be sent a Google Form link where you can:

  • Enter your order details
  • Complete all required fields
  • Ensure accuracy before submission

‍

Step 4: List Your Medicines

When filling out your order, make sure to:

  • List medicines by brand name
  • Include the quantity
  • Indicate the dosage strength

‍

Step 5: Submit Required Documents

To proceed, send clear digital copies of:

  • Prescription
  • Valid Government ID (if applicable)

  • Final payable amount

💡 Enjoy up to 10% discount on quality medicines.
⚠️ Do not send payment until the final amount and bank details are provided.

‍

Step 7: Pay the Final Amount

Once you receive payment instructions:

  1. Pay the exact final amount
  2. Send a clear photo of your proof of payment

📌 Orders are confirmed only after payment is verified.
