We can support you in the initial stages while you are trying to break the smoking habit and help you to stay off cigarettes permanently.

Procedure:

Initial Consultation: This takes around 15 mins and during this time we agree a quit date and give you information on the program including deciding which NRT products would be best for you.

Week 1: Before or on your agreed quit date (may be at initial consultation stage) you will pick up your first weeks supply of NRT.

Week 2-12 You can return to our Pharmacy every week and pick up your FREE supply of NRT.

(Some patients may be successfully quit after Week 10 and are entitled to leave the program at this stage).

Our Pharmacists and Staff are highly trained to advise you what is best for you. Also if you always use our Pharmacy for your prescriptions we will have a full range of all your medication, allergies, interactions etc.

Gluten Free Products

Coeliac Disease is a common digestive condition where a person is intolerant (or has an adverse reaction) to the protein gluten. There is no cure for coeliac disease, but switching to a gluten-free diet should help control the symptoms.

(For further information see Health Advice Section)

We stock a wide range of gluten-free products to help you manage your condition.

Many of these products are available on NHS prescription (for patients who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease by an NHS practitioner) and others may be purchased.

Please ask a member of our staff for a full list of our products and advice on how to get your supply of Gluten Free Products on prescription.

Medicine Management

O’Kane’s Chemist and HealthCare Pharmacy provide a FREE and private consultation to help you understand your medication better.

Our Medicines Management Service will be of particular benefit if you take a number of different medicines on a regular basis.

Our Pharmacist will discuss any queries you have in a relaxed and informal way in a private consultation room within the Pharmacy. (The consultation can also be arranged at the patient’s home for housebound patients).

At the consultation we can discuss:

What medicines you are taking
What each medicine is for
What is the best time of day to take your medicine.
Any side effects you might be experiencing

We can organise and balance your medicines so that they will all run out together. This means that from then on you will be able to order your prescription for your medicines all together at the same time.

For a FREE medicines review speak to any of our Pharmacists to arrange an appointment.
