Cold sore? Conjunctivitis? UTI? You may not need to start with the GP. 👀
Through the HSE Common Conditions Service, participating pharmacists can assess a range of common conditions and, where appropriate, prescribe treatment.
That includes cold sores, conjunctivitis, impetigo, shingles, cystitis/UTIs, vaginal thrush, oral thrush and allergic rhinitis.
Eligibility varies depending on the condition, age and individual circumstances, so not everyone will be suitable for treatment through the service.
Did you know your pharmacist could help with all of these?
If you’re unsure whether the service is suitable for you, speak to our pharmacists at Ballybrack Medical Hall. We’re always happy to advise.💜
