I arrived in Sydney from Kuala Lumpur (via Singapore) with a rapidly developing cold. After dropping my bags at the hotel, I headed directly to the Bondi Pharmacy. Whilst perusing the cold and flu options, a nice chap offered me "something stronger" from behind the counter.
I ended up with Pharmacy Choice Cold & Flu Day/Night Tablets (classed as "pharmacist only medicine" presumably for their codeine and pseudoephedrine content) and they definitely provided some temporary relief (so much so, I went back and got more when I exhausted the first set).
I came back to Bondi Pharmacy twice more for tissues, tampons, hair elastics, cough drops and additional medicine.
This small shop isn't anything particularly special but they had everything I was looking for whilst fighting a cold during my stay in Sydney. read more
