Do you have questions or concerns about taking a new prescription medicine? We offer a free and confidential review with the Pharmacist to help you get the most from your medicines from the start with follow-ups to address any further questions you may have.

We use a partner organisation to provide this service. You will be contacted by text prior to the phone call about your new medication. The pharmacist will then ask for identification to verify they are talking to the right person. They will ask you questions about how you are getting on with your medication(s) and feedback to us. If there is anything of concern, we can talk to your GP and advise you if necessary.
