Prescriptions and medicines

Can I buy a medicine without a prescription?

Medicines that don't need a prescription, such as some pain relievers and simple cold remedies, can be bought after asking the pharmacist. Prescription-only medicines are dispensed only with a doctor's prescription.

Can you give me a cheaper alternative to a medicine?

If there is an equivalent with the same active ingredient and strength, the pharmacist will explain the difference. We never switch an item without your consent.

What if the medicine isn't available at the branch?

The pharmacist tells you clearly before preparing the order and suggests available alternatives if there are any.

How do I know whether to take a medicine before or after food?

The pharmacist explains each medicine when you collect your prescription: how many times a day, before or after food, and when to continue or stop. If you forget, call the branch.

Can I ask the pharmacist over the phone?

Yes. Call the branch at any time, and the pharmacist will answer your questions about medicines, doses and interactions.

No. A cold is viral and antibiotics have no effect on it. Only a doctor can decide whether there is a bacterial infection that needs an antibiotic.

Can I take a pain reliever while I'm on blood pressure or diabetes medicines?

Some pain relievers and cold remedies can affect blood pressure or interact with your medicines. Tell the pharmacist about your long-term medicines before taking anything new.
