They seem to have all of the essential lotions, potions and remedies for medical ailments, in addition to a great gift range in stock. They have loads of things to choose from if you are looking for a kid's present like themed bubble bath, soft cuddly toys and other funny cute items. My teenagers are more into the make up now and there is plenty of this on the shelves, nail polish and thankfully hair dyes since they want to be bottle blonds. Top brands are represented in the body lotions and soaps and other gift packs and there is a Natio mineral make up stand.

A pharmacy located on the Gladstone Road in Parnell that I used to frequent when I housesat across…read morethe road. It's a bit on the old school side with its products and decor - it doesn't seem as up to date as the likes of Amcal and Life pharmacy. The woman who runs it is a bit like that too but is very friendly and helpful. There seemed to be a bit of disparity between the prices of the products there. Some items seemed a bit expensive while others were much cheaper - I was looking for a travel sized shampoo and the one I got only cost $1.50. It's like they hadn't changed the price since the 1990s or something. They do some good gift sets for women here but when I asked if they would be prepared to wrap one for me, they said they didn't do that. It's a friendly little shop but you can't help thinking that whole place could do with catching up with the 21st Century.

The prices are generally not too outrageous for a pharmacy, and the service is quick, although the staff at the front till are really less than friendly, the ones down the back who deal with scripts are really nice. I've had some excellent bargains here too, including Dr Lewinn's products for absolutely dirt cheap, and the range of makeup is much better that at other Queen Street parmacies.

I don't go to chemists all that often, and when I do it's because there's something wrong with me…read more This place has a whole range of makeup and stuff but I can't comment on that, I only come here because I have a pain or an ailment that needs fixing. I can't be alone in this. Bearing that in mind, the service here is kind of disappointing. I mean not outright rude or anything, but definitely not friendly, and even to call it polite is being generous. I know it must be boring working as a cashier at a pharmacy, but suck it up. The people you're serving probably also work boring jobs (this pharmacy is in town, you know), and they've probably also got hayfever or bunions or something - that's why they're here. You don't have to sympathise with every single one of them, but yawning and rolling your eyes is not helping anyone. You're not too good for this job - you know how I know? Because it's your job.

I came in here today looking for something for my horrible chesty cough I have at the moment, and I…read morefound the pharmacists to be very helpful. They approached me as I stood, baffled by the range of cough products, and directed me to the right stuff. It was quick and painless, which is about all I can ask from a visit to the pharmacy when I'm sick!
