First Med Inc first started off based in Charleston, South Carolina and then moved its location to Tennessee later that year. The company changed name from “Charleston Pharmaceuticals” to First Med Inc on June 26th, 2007. With such a long history in the medical industry, and many successes in their brick-and-mortar operations, it was not surprising that the company decided to move to more of an online focus in the mid-2010s.
Trying to keep up-to-date with new technologies in the ever evolving pharmaceutical industry, is no easy feat. First Med Inc have stayed up with current trends however, and in the pandemic years of late, have begun new businesses exporting the highly in demand medicine. The company noticed huge demand from people looking to buy Ivermectin in Bangkok, the rest of Thailand, and around the globe. Online pharmaceutical sales bring with it a new set of challenges, including taking payment online from customers in various jurisdictions via a number of various payment methods.
This is where Coin2Play come in.
