What is there really to say about a pharmacy? Probably not much. What can one say about a discount…read morepharmacy? Bargains, bargains, bargains! I was an impoverished student in Paddington for about a year and I learnt a lot about being thrifty in this time. Imbedded into my routine was procuring my many beauty products from Paddington Central Pharmacy. I don't think this pharmacy actually advertises itself as a "discount" pharmacy but there is still many savings to be had! Namely on basic things like shampoo, conditions and toothpaste! On a good day one would be able to purchase a large amount of toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner for around $10. This would generally last me about a month. Not a bad deal to stay clean and reasonably attractive for approximately $10 a month! I also went through a health kick and picked up some relatively cheap vitamins but they didn't send me into a bargain bonanza! So in short, this review is for all those poor students out there who need a cheap solution to staying clean!

What I love about Paddington Central Pharmacy is their bargains displayed out the front. Here, you…read morecan get soap, body butter, toothpaste all for $1 each, I am not joking. Every time I go to Paddington Woolworths, I will stop by this pharmacy to nab myself some cheap household and bathroom necessities. Aprart from that the bargains, Paddington Central Pharmacy is a good place to pick up your prescriptions and general medical products. They have a small range in make-up too, so if you are in dire need of mascara- it's good for that too. Overall, not a bad pharmacy at all. Next time you are in need of shampoo or toothepaste, don't buy it from Woolworths, buy it from Paddington Central Pharmacy.

Unfortunately, having shopped here a couple of times, their prescription service is not very effective. They have this system where customers go to the back of the store to get their scripts filled or purchase over-the-counter medications. Once your script is filled, you take it to the front of the shop for payment. I think they have set up this system to make a clear distinction between the health care component and the general shop. At the back of the store, you can get pharmacist counselling and pick up prescriptions. However, money exchanges hands at the front of the shop. It sounds good in theory except when you just want to buy $1 tissues but you're stuck behind a pensioner who forgot to hand in his pension card and therefore his prescription had gone through at full price. The poor sales assistant had to run to the back of the shop with the pension card, the pharmacist had to re-process the script, the sales assistant had to come back, then the pharmacist realised he also had to re-process the repeat prescription, the pensioner had to hand over the prescription again. The entire process took five minutes longer than it should. Needless to say, the line of people waiting to get served was pretty restless. So while this may be a convenient pick up point for toiletry, think twice before going in if you're in a rush.

Sometimes, like at the supermarket, when somebody forgets their number for their card, then they have to pay cash, then they don't have enough so have to put stuff back, there, also, people get muddled.......maybe we all have to remember that we are all getting to that age as the days pass. They do have generic brands available for some medications and also offer a tablet fill service, where the daily tablets go into special trays for ease of taking.

It's refreshing to see a pharmacy left in Brisbane that isn't a chain. The fact that JP Davies is…read morean independently owned chemist coupled with the fact that it's in West End's hub of Boundary Street make it a really lovely chemist to visit when you're feeling sick and want to be served promptly by helpful, friendly staff. Boundary street in West End has a very neighbourhood villlage atmosphere, and JP Davies has been around since 1885 so its customers are loyal and JP Davies returns the favour by being reasonably priced, and full of pharmacists and sales assistants who seem to genuinely want to help you. They don't just help you with your purchase or putting your script in, they're also happy to assist you if you have any questions about what medications might be best for your symptoms or if you're after any other advice. They'll even check your blood pressure for you. JP Davies sells a nice range of cosmetics along with their healthcare range and you can get Natio, Revlon, and other brands there at a pretty good price. They often have specials as well. I like to support the few remaining independent chemists and I know that whenever I go into JP Davies I'll be well looked after whether I need over the counter medication, a script filled, or just some sympathy and advice.

Although this pharmacy was established in 1885 (according to the sign), it's clearly had a remodel…read moresince then so don't expect a beautiful old heritage building. It's small but well stocked. I was thrilled to discover a certain brand of coconut shampoo and conditioner here that I've never seen in Australia before. They do have a great range of stuff and plenty of it was on sale while I was there. I'm not sure how often that happens, but if it's a common occurrence then I will definitely be returning to this place. As soon as I finish the shampoo I'm working on now.

Would definitely recommend!

There are two sections for customers to browse through, and there's an ample range of products, from tiger balm, to instant breath fresheners. My brother dropped by to pick up some Zovirax and the pharmacist was incredibly friendly and even inspected his cold sore to check if she was prescribing the right thing for him. She even gave him extra tips on how to care for the sore itself, and how to apply the cream for optimum healing. We left feeling assured that that cold sore of his was history.
