The pharmacyThe first place to ask, and often the last you need
A great deal of what worries people is straightforward: a rash that needs a cream, a cough that needs time, a medicine that does not agree with another one. We can tell you which it is.
When it is not straightforward, we say so and tell you who to see. That is the useful half of the job.

Questions people ask
Can you tell me whether I need a doctor?
Often, yes. Describe what is going on and we will tell you honestly whether it is one for us or one for them.
Do you have it in stock?
Ring or message and we will look while you wait on the line. If not, most things arrive the next working day.
Is there a cheaper equivalent?
Usually. Ask, and we will tell you what the generic is and whether it is the same medicine.
Can somebody else collect my prescription?
Yes. They should know your name, address and what they are collecting.
Is there somewhere private to talk?
Yes. Ask, and we will step into the room at the side.
