Pharmaceutical Medicines - Prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and complementary medicines are available.

Prescription Medicines - For prescription medicines, your doctor will explain to you- how you are to take it and any possible side effects. If you are unsure, you are always welcome to ask us for advice.

All precription medicines have a Consumer Medicine Information (CMI). This information leaflet details how to use it, side effects and precautions. It is available free so please request for it when collecting your medications, although in most cases, it can also be found tucked inside the medicine packaging.

Medicines can be expensive. If your doctor prescribes an expensive brand of medicine, in some cases we may be able to supply you a less expensive Australian generic brand. All brands of the same medicine have the same active ingredient. The only difference between one brand and another is the name, packaging, size and shape. They all meet the same high standards.

It is important that if you have a serious illness that you manage your medications and keep record of what is being taken. Otherwise, you might forget to take your medicines or take them twice. We suggest using our webster pack or a dosette box as an easy way of organising your medicines. A webster pack is packed on a weekly basis* and sealed. It indicates which day and when to take your medicines. A dosette box is a box where you can organise your own medicines in a daily or weekly box.

* Other arrangements may be possible on request.
