PHARMACY FIRST

As part of a national initiative called NHS Pharmacy First Scotland, pharmacists are able to offer free treatment for a range of common health conditions without the need for a prescription. These include urinary infections, impetigo, conjunctivitis, vaginal thrush and eczema. Pharmacists across Forth Valley also provide a local service which provides free treatment and advice for minor skin conditions and skin infections such as dermatitis, cellulitis, insect bites and nail infections. Please read the Patient Information Leaflet or visit NHS Inform for further information.

Make the Most of Your Pharmacy is where you go for medicines and for the pharmacist’s advice on how to take them. Pharmacists are trusted health professionals whose job is to help people to get the best out of their medicines. They know exactly what’s in your medicine and will be happy to answer any questions. You can be sure that your pharmacist will see that your medicine is at the right strength, in the right dose and will check that you know how to take or use it properly. They will also cross reference any other drugs you are currently taking. Many chemists now offer a prescription collection and delivery service.

If you’re feeling off-colour, but don’t feel ill enough to go to the doctor, ask your pharmacist for advice. Pharmacists have been trained to offer helpful, easy-to-understand advice on the treatment of everyday minor ailments, anything from headaches and coughs and colds, to cold sores or dermatitis.

Your pharmacist will know when medical help is needed, and will not hesitate to refer you to your doctor if your symptoms demand it. Often, however, an over-the-counter remedy will be all you need, and it’s worth remembering that pharmacies offer far more medicines than any other outlets. That’s because many of today’s effective non-prescription medicines can only be supplied under the supervision of a pharmacist, which means they are only available at a pharmacy. Remember, too, that you can talk to your pharmacist in confidence, even about the most personal symptoms. All the more reason to make the most of your local pharmacist!
