Use it or lose it - Your Local Pharmacy

Marina from Avonhead

We know the tactics - kill off our locals with loss leaders, then milk us unashamedly. Once our community pharmacies are gone they won't come back, leaving the market to the intruders - in this case Australian giants Chemist Warehouse and Countdown with their in-store pharmacies. The intruders don't charge the dispensing fee to lure customers in but they still have to pay it to the government. I know in many households money is tight and 5 Dollars can go a long way. But if you can - please continue to support our local pharmacists. I would hate to lose the knowledge many of these pharmacists have accumulated and I have saved many doctors visits by simply talking to our pharmacist. I go to Hei Hei pharmacy in Wycola Ave.
