The advice given by the practice is to first discuss your requirements with a pharmacist, who can advise you on the best course of treatment, or changing from one treatment to another. Many medications can now be purchased over the counter now, so we do advise that patients try these before visiting your doctor. A pharmacist can also advise you on whether you or your child require advice from a doctor, if your symptoms become difficult to manage or you have other underlying health conditions.
