Ampol, the former Caltex Australia, has tied up with Uber Eats to deliver over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals such as Panadol from its Caltex petrol stations to households in a move intended to resonate with people staying at home during the pandemic.

Deliveries of the products such as Nurofen and Advil are to be made from Caltex stores in under 30 minutes on average, with the service available in Foodary sites or on the Uber Eats app. The service, which is limited to two items per order to those 18 or older, is not available in NSW.
