01 / Where to find us

One counter,
one record

However your order reaches us, at the counter, from a consultation or by phone, the pharmacist reads the same prescription history, so nothing gets dispensed twice.

At the counterOutpatient dispensingThe ground floor counter serves clinic patients, walk-in purchases and collections. Bring your prescription, or have it sent through from your consultation, and a pharmacist checks it against your file before it is prepared.Open 24 hours
After an admissionDischarge medicineMedicine to take home after a stay is dispensed from the same counter, against what your consultant wrote. Anything you are unsure of can be gone through before you leave, rather than read off a label at home.Open 24 hours
For deliveryDelivery ordersOrders that go out for delivery are filled from this counter's stock, so the same authorized medicine is used whether you collect it or we bring it. A pharmacist checks each one before it is dispatched.Daily
02 / How we dispense

A pharmacist
reads it, not
just a shelf

Every prescription is checked by a pharmacist against your hospital record before anything is packed. Because they can read your file, they can flag an interaction with something else you are taking, or confirm a dose against what your doctor prescribed.

We hold authorized stock only, with no substitutes and no grey market supply, so what your consultant wrote is what you are handed.

05 / Repeat prescriptions

Chronic care
without the
paper chase

If you take medicine every day for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, asthma or heart disease, your prescription is kept on file digitally, so you do not have to carry the paper each time.

Ask for a repeat at the counter, by phone or on WhatsApp. A pharmacist checks it against your record before it is prepared, and it can go out with a delivery.

06 / Safety & records

Checked before
it reaches you

Nothing is handed over on the strength of the paper alone. Every order is read against your record first, and everything on the shelf is authorized stock.

01Authorized supplyEverything held at the counter is authorized stock. Nothing on the shelf comes from grey market supply.
02No substitutesYour prescription is dispensed as it was written. A different brand is not quietly swapped in for the one your doctor chose.
03Pharmacist checkA pharmacist reads every order before it is prepared, whether you are standing at the counter or ordering a delivery.
04Your hospital filePharmacists dispensing your medicine can see your file, so an interaction with something else you take can be flagged before you leave.
05Dose confirmationA dose is confirmed against what your doctor prescribed, which is how a duplicate or a wrong strength gets caught on paper.
06Digital recordsPrescriptions are kept on file digitally, so a repeat order or a query from another department does not depend on your paperwork.
07Prescription only medicineAntibiotics and controlled medicines are dispensed only against a valid prescription, never over the counter on request.
08CounsellingTiming, food interactions, what to do about a missed dose and which side effects are worth calling about, explained at the counter.
