A FREE SORE THROAT CHECK AT SUPERDRUG

YOU can have your sore throat checked out at one of the 200 Superdrug pharmacies nationwide offering an innovative new service. The free ten-minute consultation with a pharmacist involves a full examination. If necessary, a swab will be taken to determine if your sore throat is bacterial — and may require antibiotics — or viral, which is the case in nine out of ten sore throats, and so doesn’t need antibiotics. This service has both the potential to reduce pressure on GPs as well as the number of unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. Great stuff!
