Badger Hill Pharmacy

Medication Usage Review

If you take regular medication and are worried about possible side-effects, drug interactions or if you just need to know whether you are taking your pills correctly, then ask our pharmacist for a personalised medicines usage review. The review will be conducted in our private consultation room and will be completely confidential.

Cholesterol Testing Service

High blood cholesterol has been associated with hardening of the arteries, heart disease and a raised risk of death from heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol testing is considered a routine part of preventative health care. At Badger Hill Pharmacy we can test your blood cholesterol levels and refer you to your GP if necessary. We can advise you on simple changes to your life-style that will reduce your cholesterol levels and the risks associated with raised levels.

Diabetes Testing Service

There are thousands of people with undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes. At Badger Hill Pharmacy we offer a diabetes test to help identify your risk of developing the condition. We can advise you on ways of reducing your chances of developing diabetes later in life and offer guidance on leading a healthy lifestyle.

Blood Pressure Testing

Although high blood pressure affects 1 in 3 adults, it frequently has no symptoms. It can cause a heart attack or stroke. At Badger Hill Pharmacy we can check your blood pressure, give you advice on lifestyle changes you can take to reduce your blood pressure and, if necessary, refer you to your doctor for further checks.

Emergency Hormonal Contraception

This is commonly known as the ' morning after pill '. Not strictly accurate! In fact, it is effective for up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse though we would stress that it is best used as soon as possible. We can provide EHC at the pharmacy during opening hours; no appointment necessary.
