We offer a wide range of pharmacy services including:
Dispensing
We offer both Community Drug Scheme dispensing and private prescription dispensing. One of our pharmacists is always on duty during opening hours to supervise dispensing of prescriptions and to offer help and advice when required. We carry a comprehensive range of medicines at all times. In addition, we are able to supply unlicensed medicines (ULMs) medicines from other countries provided they have been prescribed by a consultant physician. Our computer systems are state-of-the-art and are being updated continously, this is useful to ensure safety when dispensing and selling medicines.
Please note: Unless otherwise requested all tablets and capsules are dispensed in "child resistant containers". We use the "clik lock" containers as these are the most effective on the market. However, this does not mean they are "child proof" - nothing is. So for the safety of your children - Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.

We offer a full repeat dispensing service. We can provide you with pre-paid reply envelopes, so that your repeat prescriptions are returned to Weedle Pharmacy for dispensing and delivery, if necessary.
Repeat dispensing is also available for those on stable repeat medication. Your doctor will provide you with your initial prescription and either indicate the number of repeats, or for how long, or will give you extra copies for future supply (for up to six month's duration). Hnd in the initial precription (and, if you want us to look after them, the future supply copies too) and we will then dispense (and deliver, if you wish) your medication for you each month.

Cutting the cost of Medicines
Weedle Pharmacy are committed to giving you a quality service and value for money. Hwever, many people are paying too much for their medicines as they seem to be unaware of their entitlement to the various State schemes available which help to reduce the financial burden on them. We have put together a comprehensive guide Are your Medicines costing you too much? to ensure you are getting the best value.
Many medicines that are available on prescription have a generic equivalent that can cost significantly less. Ask one of our pharmacists if there is a generic alternative for your medicine. See the section Generic Medicines for more details.
Also, many OTC medicines are allowed on the Medical card and Drug Payment Scheme. If your doctor precribes them then they wil be covered on these schemes.
