Suffering with Cold Sores?

Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) They are small fluid filled blisters that appear on the skin, usually on the lips, chin, cheeks or nostrils.

👉Infection is very common and is easily passed from person to person by close physical contact. A tingling or burning sensation is often present just before cold sores develop.

➕If you have had a previous diagnosis of Herpes that has resolved, and you are experiencing a new flare up, our trained pharmacist can help.

ℹ There is effective treatment to relieve the pain and discomfort for both Cold sores and Ge***al Herpes. Our trained Pharmacist can prescribe and dispense an Anti-Viral tablet called Valaciclovir to those 18yrs and older. A consult is required, and some exclusions do apply.

This is a Non-Funded service so a fee will apply for this service.
Please call the pharmacy for cost. No appointment required.

PRESCRIPTION CHARGES
You may have heard that prescription charges are changing from 1st July.
Your prescriptions will still be FREE from any Pharmacy if you:
* are 65 years and over, or
* have a Community Services Card, or
* are under 14 years of age, or
* have paid for 20 prescription items for you, or your family since 1st February.

Monthly repeats of funded medicines will still be free but medicines not funded by PHARMAC will still have their usual charges.

For any patients who do not fit above eligibility criteria for Free prescriptions, feel free to ask Pharmacy staff as we may be able to help cover your prescription costs.

You should have been sent a Community Services Card if you receive a benefit or payment from Work and Income. Your Doctor should code your prescription if you have a card, but if this doesn't happen and you forget to bring your card, we can look up the details for you.
If you are not sure if you are entitled to a card then you can check the Work and Income site on:
https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/products/a-z-benefits/community-services-card.html
This link includes an application form.
Please talk to our pharmacy staff if you have any questions.

The Community Services Card can help you with the costs of health care and public transport. This means you could pay less on some health services, prescriptions and fares for public transport. Always carry your card with you to make it easy to get the benefits.
