Medicines Management

Let our friendly and knowledgeable team assist in supporting your health and the health of your loved ones. We are committed to providing quality pharmacy services to you, our valued customer. Your satisfaction is very important to us because we care.  

Come see us to discuss your medicines and how best to optimise your current treatment. We are able to support you or your loved ones with compliance packing. Tell us if you have specific needs and requirements and we will help you simplify your treatment regimes.  
  

Women's Health

Let us devote some time to thinking about the woman in your life and how best we could optimise her health. Let us discuss what your needs are. In every stage of life; adolescence, pregnancy, breastfeeding or menopause, requirements differ. If you are trying to conceive, we can talk you through testing kits and explain how and when to use them. We also have a selection of pregnancy tests available. 
 
We are accredited to supply Emergency Contraceptive Pill, Selected Oral Contraceptive Pill and also Trimethoprim for the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections. 
 

Nutrition Health

Identifying nutrient needs in a busy lifestyle can be challenging. Even more so with the myriad of supplements available. Let us do the hard work for you and take out the guesswork. The New Zealand health survey has identified certain at-risk nutrients that the population can be at risk of deficiencies from. Come see us to discuss how best we could help you optimise your nutrition status. If you have specialised needs with nutrition, come see our pharmacist (a qualified nutritionist) to discuss your needs. 
 

Other Services

Other services we provide include, but are not limited to, ear piercing, online and hardcopy passport photographs. We are also accredited to supply Sildenafil and to provide counselling on the use of antidepressants. 

All advice and treatment is conducted in a professional and confidential manner and most services are provided free of charge and do not generally require an appointment.

Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions.

Medication for long term conditions

This service is designed for people with long-term illnesses who may need support with their medicines. An assessment is used to identify the things that affect their ability to take medication as prescribed. Pharmacists work together with the patient to address each issue. The pharmacist is able to assist you with managing your medications and can coordinate your medications so that your prescription repeats happen all at the same time and therefore require only one trip to have your prescriptions refilled. They can also provide you with a reminder service (via text message, email or phone call) to let you know when your next supply of medications is ready for collection. If you are having difficulties managing your medicines (e.g. forgetting to take them), please ask your pharmacist whether this service is right for you.

Your pharmacists are trained to assess whether the ECP is appropriate for you. This is done in a confidential manner.

Medicines packaging

This pharmacy can repack your medicines into compliance packaging (blister packs or sachet rolls) that specifies when you should take them. These can be supplied as weekly or monthly packs depending on your needs. This type of packaging can help you to take your medicine at the right time. It can also make it easier to see if you have missed a dose or are running out. It is useful if you are travelling as it avoids having to take multiple containers.
