bawdy-nan Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 lloyds pharmacy took over the chemists on ncross road and prices have shot up. I went to renew my stocks of non-branded hay fever tablets to discover that I was buying the last proper non-branded pack available. There will now oh be "lloyds" branded medicines to buy aside from the normal clarityn type of branded medicines. This will mean the price will almost double from 3.99 to 6.99. Apparently this will be the case across all of the over the counter medicines.Boo hiss.

Jamma Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 They seem to be cutting back on the sort of baby products the good people of East Dulwich (myself included) love too - naturcare nappies, organic rusks etc. Bah Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3794-lloyds-pharmacy/#findComment-119348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyw Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 i ordered a repeat there and they were very efficient and polite, also had the full stock to fill the prescription which is unusual for the one I'm on. so perhaps not all bad news?

bawdy-nan Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 True - the staff are very friendly and helpful - I'm just annoyed by the blatent rip-off Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3794-lloyds-pharmacy/#findComment-119419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Palaeologus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Since Lloyds took over they have become much more efficient in organising my repeat prescription. Prior to that every visit was like Ground-Hog Day "Yes I did telephone it in 5 days go, yes my repeat presciption is with you - perhaps it is in that random pile of prescriptions over there?, no I am with The Gardens as I told you 5 minutes ago, no I cant come back, well go and find it then, well done it was out the back - like it always is"Perhaps the previous lot had to sell up because their prices were too low?

Though Health Matters sell the same things. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3794-lloyds-pharmacy/#findComment-119474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollo Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Boo hiss indeed. After using Maceys for years (who always had everything i need in stock) I have changed my repeat prescription to the Coop chemist on Lordship lane as I was appalled. Lloyds clearly have their own supplier who can not get them some pretty basic stuff. I waited 10 days while they blamed the manufacturer, which was clearly not true.

Sue Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was passing here (Maceys/Lloyds, not Sainsburys!) early this evening and saw they had emptied many of their shelves - does this mean they have taken everything away to reprice it(upwards)?:-S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3794-lloyds-pharmacy/#findComment-120715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
