I purely use this shop for getting prescriptions or medicines when I am sick and Mr Baghwin the pharmacist is almost like a doctor because he gives the best advice and understands how you are feeling and what can make you better. The rest of the staff are so friendly too and they are all very discrete. There is not much stock other than medicines in this pharmacy but that gives it an air of wanting to get down to the serious business of curing your ailment, that's all you want when you're sick right?

They pile in here to get the usual headache tablets and Lemsip's depending on their ailment of course! But this chemist offer much more. It has those fancy make up counters that are usually reserved for the likes of brown Thomas, it has a children's section that includes all sorts of accoutrements that are needed by babies and toddlers. Then there is the normal make up stands that fit into the shelving of the shop. On top of all this there is a stand that always has twinkly things hanging from it, little statues made of crystal, I have never bought one but they sure are eye catchers! Just in case you weren't drawn in by the orange sale stickers!

One thing i like about this chemist is the fact that they sell and display cheaper alternatives to normal tablets, like solpadeine and nurofen, they are the same ingredients and work the same but are alot cheaper and the staff here are willing to advise you on it and encourage you to go for the cheap alternative, they are not out for money, you feel they care about the person not just the sale.

The staff are very helpful too, I went in looking for a particular type of moisturiser one day but they didn't stock it so the lady behind the counter ordered it in specially for me, it was nice to see that she didn't give the usual lazy response of "i think they stock it in...try there".

Unprofessional pharmacy, I will make sure to stay away!!!…read moreTheir unprofessionalism was and still is on the service level and now I realized that they were literally doing a damage to my wallet. I have been getting my prescriptions here for approximately two years, and my wife and I have our Drugs Payment Scheme since April 2023. My wife and I both gave our cards to the pharmacy (I did so at least 2-3 times) and were expecting everything to run smoothly, so not really checking whether the 80EUR monthly limit was met... In July I got a prescription from my GP for 6 months, and the pharmacy happily charged me over 300EUR for it. When I realized the amount I reached out to the HSE for a refund and I was sent by them back to the pharmacy to sort things with them since the HSE only handles things when these invlove more than one pharmacy. These guys first refunded me, but then said that since the prescription is for a 6 months period I didn't reach the 80EUR cap and took my money again saying that I have just over 50 EUR per month which should be taken into account. At that time I got another prescription drug, which they claimed to have, and then not have, with them changing their versions every day making me run around town to get that drug in other pharmacies and saying I will have to work with HSE to sync and get the refund for the sum over 80EUR. Just last month my wife wanted to pick my prescription and they said they are putting the drug aside, and when she came to pick this up they suddenly didn't have it. Yesterday (Dec20th) I cam to pick up my latest prescription after my GP called them to make sure they have it, and they tried to charge me 130 for it, after I asked them about the drug payment scheme they changed their version and wanted to charge me 80EUR. When I confronted them asking "where is my 50EUR monthly credit on the drug scheme" that they explained to me about just a couple of months back they pharmacist claimed that they now don't have my card on file, and that the 300+ purchase for 6 months wasn't part of it and was private since they didn't even know I had the card (which is a blatant lie since they actually refunded me based on the card and then charged me again as a 6 months prescription). After an argument she charged me 80EUR since she insisted on not having my card on file (again, a blatant lie) and I stormed out (I actually found out from my wife she already had s prescription this month for circa 15EUR which is now apparent they didn't include in any calculation). I think that a pharmacy is supposed to be a place that gives proper, professional service to people and shouldn't work like a random stand in a 3rd world country market. I don't even know how much my wife and I overpaid during the two years we got our prescriptions from them, and the way they made me run around town for a drug they said they have is just preposterous. I will be making a complaint with the PSI, but in the meanwhile I would advise everyone to stay away from this unprofessional establishment!!!

This is the type of local business that many rely on for good advice, great service and lynx deodorant box-sets close to Christmas. They've recently revamped a little, presumably in response to Boots opening next door, and the shop front is now pretty snazzy.

Classical music playing on the radio which I thought was a lovely soothing touch.
