Think Pharmacy First
Pharmacists can suggest treatments that do not need a prescription for a range of conditions. Most pharmacies can now also offer prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP or make an appointment. This is the Think Pharmacy First campaign.
Your local pharmacy can prescribe you prescription medicine for up to 7 conditions, depending on your age:
- impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
- infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
- earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
- sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
- sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
- urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)
- shingles (aged 18 years and over)
If you go to a pharmacy with one of these conditions, the pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or other health professional if needed. They will also update your GP health record, but your information will not be shared with anyone else.
Most pharmacies can provide prescription medicine for these conditions but contact them before visiting to check.
If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice and support decisions about self care treatment with over the counter medicines, but you may need to see a GP for treatment, including for prescription medicine.
