If you shop at Barkly Square because you live in the area as I do - there's a Coles, Woolworths and…read moreKmart here - dropping into the Barkly Square Pharmacy is quite convenient. I usually buy toiletries here when I run out but can't be bothered going further to buy my favourite brand. They stock quite a good range of skincare products like Burt's Bees, Akin and other organic and natural skincare brands, if you're into that sort of thing, which I am. They also often have items on sale, which if you're not fussy about brands then you can take advantage of these savings. Just double check your receipt before you leave the store - twice I've been charged the full price amount for the sale item. The second time it happened, the salesperson asked me to wait whilst she checked the price point advertised on the display shelf because apparently they often tag the wrong items for sale! Perhaps competency isn't their thing, but there are bargains to be had.

The store itself has any over the counter remedy to assist in curing your ailment with a focus on maternity and new mums as it is located within the Parkville Hospital precinct which consists of the Royal Melbourne Hospital, The Royal Women's & Frances Perry House. What I really like is their cosmetics & perfume range great quality products that really aren't too expensive. Quite regularly out the front of the store is the bargain cosmetics shelf with some good quality products to make your face fancy. Also, if you happen to be a staff member at any of the hospitals named, you get a 15% discount on all purchases except for prescription medicine.

So it's kind a renaissance-esque, all in one type business. Prices are all pretty average and there's a good selection of brands within each product area (except where only one brand corners the market anyway). Located right near the junction tram stop on High St, it a pretty convenient place to grab some stuff while you wait.

Then again I've never walked into a pharmacy and had an epiphany or gotten a fright at how amazing it is... has anyone? At the same time the pharmacy isn't horrendous or a place to be avoided. It is perfectly adequate and I have no complaints. They stock a small variety of beauty and health products. As usual I headed straight for the most colourful item in sight - the nail polish. It was only $2.50 but it turned out to be pretty sloppy quality. Not a reflection on the pharmacy but the no-name brand does not earn my recommendation. The staff here are very friendly and helpful although I did notice that there were more customers than staff - this can get annoying particularly when you are in a rush. The staff took their time with each customer too and I appreciated this - only after I got served though!

I've always felt at ease visiting this establishment and asking them for whatever product it is that I'm after. They've always been most helpful too in recommending products to me. Other than one's usual needs - Nurofen, vitamins, cough lozenges - this pharmacy also stocks some great natural skincare brands like Sukin. And because it isn't next door to, or even near to a GP's office, there is hardly ever a wait to collect prescriptions. I have never had to wait for more than a minute to be attended to because this pharmacy is never crowded; ideal when you're a barely standing snivelling, shivering mess, which is the state I'm usually in when I'm waiting for my antibiotics. Trams 1 and 8 stop almost directly outside Lygon Pharmacy, which makes it so easy to get to. The sliding door and ramp leading up to the door makes it a breeze for people with strollers, prams or wheelchairs.

This isn't a franchise, it's a family-owned business, so you're not going to be paying Discount Chemist Drug Barn Corp prices - just normal chemist prices - but the trade off is that they actually care about you, you're getting A+ customer service, and you're supporting local business.

In this sense it can also be a bit awkward to take an embarrassing prescription there as they get to know their customers quite well. For general products there prices are quite good. Normally pharmacies tend to be quite expensive when it comes to skin products or tissues etc, but this one was similar in price to Safeway, which is one of the cheapest places to get these items (in my experience). The service here is really good. There are two counters - the one at the back is for prescriptions and the one at the front is for general items. There will always be at least one person at one of these counters and they will always be very friendly and courteous. I have always had very good experiences at this pharmacy and I definitely trust them when it comes to filling my prescriptions and being discreet when other customers are in the store. I would definitely recommend them. Great service.
