Northcote Pharmacy

"Walked into my neighbourhood pharmacy today suffering from high fever. My partner and I both have Covid-19. Firstly no one bothered asking me what was it for and if I felt well (i was wearing a mask). I asked for 2 packs of nurofen, one express and one cold and flu and she refused selling me both as she said they only sell one to each customer. I said but we are two people in the house that need them. Still, she didn't care at all. Never asked why and what's wrong. I said fine so I have to go to another pharmacy and get one more. I paid and as I was walking she complained I didn't say thank you. Yes! Thank you for being so awful to me and use the little bit of power you have when you see a person in need to make them suffer a little bit more. I do thank you for that and to thank you even further I give you a review here and 1 star as I can't give you zero. Also, I should apologise for wearing a mask in your shop out of courtesy."

"A throughly useless pharmacy. The service is abrupt and the people behind the counter do their best to stop providing you with over the counter medicines, such a simple painkillers, as recommended by the doctor, without asking a thousand questions and refusing to sell what is required despite having a limited understanding of the rules, a person’s health and what has been advised by a doctor and official NHS advice. I have rarely encountered so many problems with a pharmacy. I would avoid if you can"

"Brilliant local resource, independently owned and so helpful when my little ones had chicken pox recently. They were so friendly and have really helpful advice over the phone. Thank you!"

"Really bad experience, they sell medication nearly to expire and they don’t want to refund your money or exchange it. Be careful, this pharmacy wants you spend your money and they don’t care about the products they sell and the most important they don’t advise you. I bought travel sickness pills for my son on the 27 April , the medication expires on June. I can not use it for my holidays. The manager says , I am sorry you can throw to the rubbish. What a horrible people knowing that you are wasting your money and they know this medication will go to the rubbish"

"This is a fantastic pharmacy. I came in today to get a flu jab and the ladies at the front desk were extremely kind and helpful. The pharmacist was very professional and kind as I was nervous of needles. Highly recommend"
