Pharmacists can sell ‘P’ medicines which are medicines only available from pharmacies and the sale will be accompanied by advice and signposting if needed.

Pharmacists can help with prescription queries eg information about medication including interactions, dosing and side effects. They can help to synchronise repeat prescriptions and can carry out Medicine Use Reviews and New Medicine Service.
