Description
FREE PRESCRIPTIONS (Conditions apply)
Free prescriptions apply to all fully government funded medicines, whereby prescriptions must be written by GP or NZ public hospitals. Partly funded medicines, non funded medicines and specialist prescriptions are not applicable in the FREE prescription service.
Pharmacists can help to support the health of your family; they can provide advice and treatment for common minor illnesses for all ages.

All advice and treatment is conducted in a professional and confidential manner and most services are provided free of charge and do not generally require an appointment.
