Pharmacy First Scotland
NHS Pharmacy First Scotland is a service offered by our pharmacy to assist patients with access to advice and appropriate treatment for minor illnesses and common health complaints without the need for a GP appointment.
Why suffer in silence when our experienced pharmacists can help you. Just walk-in to our pharmacy. Conditions we can treat as part of Pharmacy First Scotland are:
Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that’s hot or painful to touch. Acne most commonly develops on the face which affects almost everyone with acne, on the back or on the chest.
Allergies
An allergy is a reaction the body has to a particular food or substance. Allergies are very common. They’re thought to affect more than 1 in 4 people in the UK at some point in their lives. Our experienced pharmacists can help you with allergies.
Athletes Foot
Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection that affects the feet. You can usually treat it with creams, sprays or powders from a pharmacy, but it can keep coming back. Our experienced pharmacists can help treat you successfully for Athlete's foot.
Backache
Back pain, particularly lower back pain, is very common. It usually improves within a few weeks but can sometimes last longer or keep coming back. Back pain can range from a muscle ache to a shooting, burning or stabbing feeling. We can help you with back pain.
Blocked or Runny Nose
A cold or the flu can cause a runny or stuffy nose, along with a cough and thick, green nasal discharge. A fever can also indicate a cold. Itchy, watery, or swollen eyes, along with a clear runny or stuffy nose and sneezing, are common symptoms of environmental allergies.
Cold Sores
Cold sores are small blisters that develop on the lips or around the mouth. They’re caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and usually clear up without treatment within 7 to 10 days. Our experienced pharmacists can help you with cold sores.
Constipation
Constipation is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It can mean that you’re not passing stools regularly or you’re unable to completely empty your bowel. Constipation can also cause your stools to be hard and lumpy, as well as unusually large or small.
Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea is passing looser, watery or more frequent poo (stools) than is normal for you. It affects most people from time to time and is usually nothing to worry about. It can be distressing and unpleasant. It normally clears quickly or our pharmacist can help you.
General Pain
General pain, also known as generalized pain, is a type of pain that affects more than two areas of the body and can be acute or chronic. It can cause discomfort, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, and stiff joints. Our experienced pharmacists can help you with pain.
Hay Fever
Hay fever is a common allergic condition. It affects up to 1 in 5 people at some point in their life. You’ll experience hay fever symptoms if you have an allergic reaction to pollen. Pollen is a fine powder released by plants as part of their reproductive cycle. Need some help?
Head Lice
Head lice are tiny insects that live in hair. Nits are the empty egg cases attached to hair that head lice hatch from. They’re largely harmless, but can live in the hair for a long time if not treated and can be irritating and frustrating to deal with. Our pharmacists can help you with head lice.
Headache
A headache is pain or discomfort in the head or face. Headaches vary greatly in terms of the location and intensity of the pain, and how often the headaches occur. The brain tissue doesn't have pain-sensitive nerve fibres and doesn't feel pain. We can help you.
Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids are similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum, called internal hemorrhoids. They also can develop under the skin around the anus.
Mouth Ulcers
Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth. They’re uncomfortable but they’re usually harmless. Most clear up by themselves within 1 to 2 weeks. Mouth ulcers are common and can usually be managed at home or our pharmacist can help you.
Nasal Congestion
Nasal congestion, also called a stuffy nose, is often a symptom of another health problem such as a sinus infection. It may also be caused by the common cold. It happens when something irritates tissues lining the inside of your nose. Our pharmacists can help you with nasal congestion.
Period Pain
Period pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is a normal part of the menstrual cycle for most women. It's usually felt as cramps in the lower abdomen or pelvis, but can also spread to the back and thighs. The pain can be intense and spasmodic, or more dull and constant.
Skin Infections
Various pathogens can cause skin infections, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The symptoms, treatment, and outlook will depend on the cause. Infections can vary from mild to serious. Most skin infections are highly treatable.
Threadworms
Threadworms (pinworms) are tiny worms in your poo. They’re common in children and are spread easily. You may spot threadworms in your poo. The worms look like threads of white cotton and are about 1cm long. You can treat them without seeing a GP by using our walk-in service.
Thrush
Thrush is a very common yeast infection. It’s not a sexually transmitted infection. It’s usually harmless but it can be uncomfortable and keep coming back. Some people have no signs of thrush at all. Sometimes there is too much yeast and it can cause symptoms.
