Dispensing Rule
We are unable to dispense for anyone living within 1.6km of a pharmacy but anyone living further than 1.6km DO have the choice to ask for their prescriptions to be dispensed at a Pharmacy/Dispensary of their choice.
Holiday Medication
If you are going away on holiday this is not a problem for us. Please let us know and we can provide an extra month’s medication when you place your usual order. We will be happy to accommodate your request by calling into the dispensary.
Emergency Supply
We can usually help if you need some regular medicines and can’t get in touch with your doctor. We must stress that this can only be done in genuine emergencies. Please note, there may be a charge for this service.
