While they’re experts in minor ailments, they can’t provide diagnoses. Instead, they’ll assess your symptoms, take your temperature if needed, and recommend the best course of action, which could include:
Over-the-counter meds: Soothe pain, cough, or fever.
Home remedies: Gargle with warm salt water, suck on lozenges, stay hydrated.
Referral to your GP: If needed for more serious cases.
The Pharmacy First service is designed for exactly such situations. No appointment needed, simply walk in and our expert pharmacists will assess your symptoms. They’ll recommend the most effective over-the-counter medications, like soothing lozenges, cooling throat sprays, or pain-relieving options, to get you back on your feet and cheering loud again.
