Please contact your chosen pharmacy directly to confirm when your medication is ready for pickup.
Before you start, have these ready:
Your ID: A clear photo of your Driver’s License or Passport.
Your Pharmacy: Know the address of the pharmacy where you want to pick up your medication.
Our providers use a detailed medical intake form designed to capture the specific nature of your symptoms, your medical history, and any "red flag" indicators. By analyzing the severity of your pain, the appearance of your tonsils, and the presence of other symptoms like hoarseness, our clinical team can safely determine if you are a candidate for asynchronous treatment or if an in-person physical exam is necessary for your safety.
Depending on your symptoms and history, your provider may prescribe antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected, or suggest professional-grade treatments to manage pain and swelling.
You will receive a response from a provider within 4 hours, though it is often much faster.
During the intake process, you will be able to search for and select any pharmacy that is convenient for you. We can send prescriptions to all major chains and local independent pharmacies.
Your safety is our priority. If your provider determines that your symptoms require a physical exam or immediate in-person attention, they will let you know via the dashboard and provide guidance on seeking care. In these cases, you will not be charged the consultation fee.
Currently, Zalud is only available for adults aged 18 and older. Because sore throats in children often require a physical swab or exam to rule out specific pediatric complications, we recommend seeing a pediatrician for anyone under 18.
The $39 fee covers your medical evaluation and the creation of your treatment plan by a Zalud provider. It does not include the cost of the medication at the pharmacy. If you have insurance, you can use it at your local pharmacy to pay for the prescription.
