CONDITIONS WE TREAT

7 Common Conditions Treated Free

Under Pharmacy First, our pharmacists can assess, diagnose, and treat these conditions — with medication supplied free of charge where clinically appropriate.

Sinusitis

Blocked or runny nose with facial pain or pressure, lasting more than 10 days or worsening after initial improvement.

Sore Throat

Painful throat making it difficult to swallow. Our pharmacist can assess severity and provide appropriate treatment.

Earache

Pain in one or both ears, which may be sharp or dull. Common in both children and adults.

Infected Insect Bite

A bite or sting that has become red, swollen, warm, or is leaking pus — signs of bacterial infection.

Highly contagious skin infection causing red sores, usually around the nose and mouth, that burst and form crusts.

Shingles

Painful, blistering rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Early treatment reduces severity.
