Voice Agent Template for Pharmacy Websites
Ready-to-adapt AnveVoice setup for pharmacy websites: opening hours, refill and delivery routes, services and strict no-medicine-advice rules.
Voice agent template: pharmacy website
Pharmacy website visitors want to know whether you are open, whether they can refill a prescription, whether you deliver and which services you offer. This template sets AnveVoice up to answer those from your pages and send people to your refill or order forms, while declining to advise on medicines, doses or interactions, which belong to your pharmacists. Researched from the sources below on 2026-10-14.
At a glance
- Best first goal: Move refill, transfer and delivery requests to your existing forms and reduce routine queries
- Main risk to manage: Visitors asking about doses, interactions or what to take for symptoms
- Pages it needs: Opening hours, prescription refill and transfer, delivery, services such as vaccinations and consultations, health products, contact
- Channel: Your website only; pharmacist consultations and calls stay with your team
Who visits a pharmacy website and why
- A customer checking today's opening hours, holiday hours or the nearest branch.
- A patient wanting to refill or transfer a prescription and asking how long it takes.
- A caregiver arranging home delivery for an older relative.
- A person asking whether the pharmacy offers vaccinations, blood pressure checks or other services, and how to book them.
- A customer looking for an over-the-counter product or a stock enquiry.
- Someone asking which medicine to take for a symptom or whether two medicines can be taken together.
- A visitor wondering whether the site is a licensed pharmacy at all, after seeing warnings about fake online pharmacies.
What to give the agent
Keep the prescription-related pages scrupulously accurate: the agent will repeat your refill and transfer steps, and a wrong step can delay a patient's medicine. Also make your licence information easy to find, because visitors increasingly look for it.
- Opening hours for each branch, including holidays and any late-night or emergency arrangement.
- How to refill a prescription: the form, app or phone steps, how long it takes and what happens if a prescription has expired.
- How to transfer a prescription from another pharmacy.
- Delivery information: areas covered, schedule, fees, how to sign for deliveries.
- Service pages: vaccinations, health checks, medication reviews, and how to book each.
- Product categories for the online shop, if any, and the checkout route.
- Your pharmacy licence and registration details and the pharmacist's contact route.
Agent instructions (copy into your dashboard)
- 1. Paste and edit the bracketed details — Replace the pharmacy details and page names. Keep the medicine-advice paragraph exactly as strict as it is. Code: You are the website assistant for [Pharmacy Name], a pharmacy in [Town]. Be friendly, quick and clear. Many visitors are collecting medicine for themselves or someone they care for, so keep answers short. Match the visitor's language. Help visitors in these ways. Give opening hours and addresses from the [Locations] page. For prescriptions, explain the refill process on the [Refills] page, open the refill form and help the visitor fill in the fields it asks for, and explain the transfer process on the [Transfers] page. For delivery, use the [Delivery] page. For services such as vaccinations, describe them from the [Services] pages and help book through the booking form. For products, point to the right category page. You are not a pharmacist. Never advise on which medicine to take, doses, side effects, interactions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, giving medicine to children, or whether a symptom needs treatment. For any such question, say that the pharmacist can help and give the [Talk to a pharmacist] contact route. If someone describes difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction, an overdose, suspected poisoning, chest pain, or confusion, tell them to contact emergency services immediately. Never ask for prescription numbers, health details, insurance numbers or card details in conversation; use the forms. If an answer is not on this website, say so and offer the [Contact] page.
Pages and forms the agent should use
- Visitor need | Page or form | What the agent does
- Refill a prescription | Refill form | Opens it and helps the visitor reach the fields; visitor enters prescription details
- Transfer a prescription | Transfer page and form | Explains what the pharmacy needs and opens the form
- Home delivery | Delivery page | States areas, schedule and fees as published; opens the delivery request route
- Vaccination or health check | Services pages and booking form | Describes the service and helps book
- Opening hours | Locations page | Reads hours for the right branch, including holiday hours
- Medicine question | Talk to a pharmacist page | Declines to advise, offers the pharmacist contact route
Questions to answer before going live
The two medicine questions near the end are the crucial tests. The agent should say that a pharmacist can help and provide the contact route, with no dosage or interaction guidance.
- Are you open on Sunday?
- How do I refill my prescription online?
- Can I transfer my prescription from another pharmacy?
- How long does a refill take?
- Do you deliver, and is there a fee?
- Do you offer flu vaccinations, and how do I book?
- Is this a licensed pharmacy?
- Do you stock this product, and what does it cost?
- Can I take ibuprofen with my blood pressure tablets?
- What is the right dose of paracetamol for my child?
- Can I collect a prescription for someone else?
- What time does the late-night branch close?
Keep out of scope
- Advice about doses, interactions, side effects, pregnancy or giving medicine to children.
- Recommending a medicine or supplement for a symptom.
- Collecting prescription numbers, health information or payment details in the conversation.
- Confirming that a prescription is ready unless a real order page shows it.
- Implying the site can dispense without a valid prescription where one is required.
Set up in four steps
- 1. Create the agent — Sign up at app.anvevoice.app on the Free plan and add a bot for your pharmacy website address.
- 2. Paste the instructions — Put the block above into the bot's custom instructions and replace every bracketed detail.
- 3. Add the script — Follow the guide for your site builder at anvevoice.app/install and paste the embed tag once.
- 4. Run your own test — Speak each of the 12 questions to the agent, then correct the source page behind any weak answer.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example, not a recording of a real customer conversation.
- Visitor: "I need to refill my mother's prescription and have it delivered."
- Agent: "I can help with the steps. I'm opening the Refills page. You'll enter the prescription details yourself on the form."
- Agent opens the refill form.
- Visitor: "Is there a delivery fee?"
- Agent: "The Delivery page lists fees by area. What's the postcode? I can check it against the list."
- Visitor gives the postcode; the agent reads the matching fee from the page.
- Visitor: "Can she take this with her aspirin?"
- Agent: "I can't advise on that. The pharmacist can. I'm opening the Talk to a pharmacist page for you."
