What can Dilworth Drug do for me?
Neighborhood pharmacists can dispense your prescriptions, (including repeat prescriptions), provide advice and treatment for minor ailments without prescription. They can offer health and lifestyle advice and direct you to other sources of support, advice or treatment. They will also arrange for the safe disposal of unused medicines.

Dilworth Drug can help you decide whether or not you need to see a doctor. There is no need to make an appointment to see a pharmacist, and you can talk to them in confidence, even about symptoms that are very personal.
