About us

You can be confident that our counter staff are properly trained using accredited courses so they can advise you about treating common ailments. They may ask some simple questions so we can check that you get the most suitable advice or product. They might suggest you speak to the pharmacist before buying anything. We have a wide range of well-known pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products that you can buy over the counter, from cold and flu remedies to perfumery and general household accessories.
