Mercury Drug is one of the most trusted names in the Philippines, not just among pharmacies but in retail in general. Their story is as humble as it is impressive. It began from a single bottle of sulfathiazole, considered a wonder drug after the Philippines was left devastated at the end of the Japanese occupation. From there, Mariano Que sold the sulfathiazole per piece or “tingi-tingi” to give more people access to the medicine.
The first Mercury Drug branch opened soon after on March 1, 1945 in the now-infamous Bambang Street in Manila. From there, the business only continued to grow, committed to its mission to bring medicines within easier reach of every Filipino. Today, Mercury Drug has more than 1,200 stores across the country.
Beyond providing quality medicines and medical supplies, Mercury Drug also has a range of consumer goods in its stores. There are also hundreds of 24-hour Mercury Drug branches all over the Philippines, along with Gamot Padala and drive-thru services. All of these and more are in the name of quality service and convenience.
To further improve their customer service, Mercury Drug teamed up with PayMaya to bring PayMaya QR to its customers. This transforms Mercury Drug branches into cashless merchants, ready to give quick and reliable services.
There are many advantages to going cashless, including the reduced risk of transmitting viruses and bacteria. This benefit is definitely something you’d expect from Mercury Drug as a healthcare partner. Of course, you’ll also time and cost savings when using #ScanToPay. As a PayMaya QR partner merchant, there will be occasional promos, cashback, and other offers that will give you the most value for your money.
