About the pharmacy
We are a friendly family-owned independent business which opened as a 100 hour pharmacy in 2008 based in Mayfield Medical Centre.
We are delighted to offer a full and comprehensive range of pharmacy services at times that suit you. The late night opening 7 days a week means that picking up your prescription is so much easier to pick up in the evenings and weekends when you park in the surgery car park free of charge to pick up your medication.
Medication
We stock and dispense a full range of medication. On that rare occasion when we do not have an item in stock, for example, an infrequently prescribed or unusual item we pride ourselves at being able to source the medication as soon as we possibly can. If this is an ongoing prescription we can then order it in for you the next time.
We can go through your prescribed medication with you, explain what they are for, how to take them and advise regarding any possible side effects. This is called a Medication Usage Review.
We also have a small retail area which stocks a wide range of items from plasters, pain killers and bandages, to toiletry such as soaps, shower gels and deodorants to infant feeding bottles and even flypaper.
Advice
We can advise regarding common ailments such as coughs and colds, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, hay fever, pain relief, vitamins and allergies, contraceptive services such as 'the morning after pill' and review asthma inhaler techniques. We can also advise you whether it would be appropriate to contact your GP or Devon Doctors if out of hours.
We also offer
- Free collection of prescriptions from all Paignton Surgeries.
- Delivery of prescriptions to patients and carers who for whatever reason are unable to come to Mayfield.
- Repeat Prescribing Scheme - For suitable patients a prescription may be issued for up to 6 months in advance whereby you would just need to pick your prescription once a month.
