Harrington's Pharmacy Castlecomer

Here at Harrington’s Pharmacy Castlecomer we provide each patient with advice on all prescribed medicines ensuring that the patient is fully informed about any special directions for use of the medicine as well as any common severe side effects, adverse reactions or interactions and therapeutic contra-indications that may be encountered, including their avoidance and the action required should they occur.

This advice may be given in private depending on the nature of the medicine or if the patient prefers it – we have a private consultation room available at all times.

Blister Packing Service … free of charge

We can blister pack your tablets into a weekly pill organizer that is convenient and safe and takes the hassle out of complicated drug regimes.
