While most pharmacies have grown larger over the years, in part becoming also gift shops and even convenience stores, Bulimba Pharmacy is oddly small.
This is particularly true given its location (the hip Oxford Street). You would expect something flash and new. This has the vibe of a pharmacy from about ten years ago, where the products are all related to medical issues, not impulse buying. (Eerie.)
If you're ordering something on script or that needs a label, you might wait a while here. There's usually at least one other person in this pharmacy waiting for their product to be "written up", and that's enough to add ten minutes onto your wait.
I almost want to complain about having to wait but the staff are simply too nice. You can easily chat with the counter staff and wile away the time, though if someone's parked on the street waiting for you to "duck in and out" they might not be so happy.
The size of the pharmacy means the products tend to be average in terms of price, so I wouldn't look for a cheap deal here. read more
