If you have a common condition that can be treated with a medication that is available to buy over the counter you will be asked to attend your local pharmacy. You do not need to make an appointment to speak to the pharmacist, just pop in anytime and they will be happy to help you.

Ask the pharmacist for help and advice on the most appropriate medication to relieve your symptoms for:

• Mild aches and pains

• Indigestion and heartburn
• Cold sores (Minor Ailments)
• Baby Milks
• Colic

• Coughs, colds and sore throats

• Diarrhoea (occasional)
• Sunscreen
• Constipation
• Threadworms (Minor Ailments)
• Ear wax

If at any time you are concerned about your condition or if your symptoms are not improving after a few days of treatment with the over-the-counter medications you should contact the local pharmacist or the surgery for more advice.
