Pharmabox is an automated kiosk for OTC (over the counter) pharmaceutical products. Currently there aren't any prescribed medications dispensed.

​A typical Pharmabox looks like this:

You're already familiar with these types of machines. You can find similar machines selling electronics at airports. Pharmabox in this case is a very specialized vending machine.

A few of my thoughts:
​

- Few viable locations in urban centres due to presence of many 24/7 stores
- Is there a future play to get into OTC dispensing of recreational cannabis??? 
- If there is a long-term vision to enter into prescribed medicines space, I hope they learn from the bankruptcy of PharmaTrust
- This isn't going to put any pharmacies out of business or pharmacists out of a job (at this stage)
