Medication management is the everyday work of keeping your medicines organised, filled on time and taken as prescribed. For many people in Flinders, especially older patients, carers and anyone taking several medicines, that can be a lot to keep track of. At Flinders Discount Chemist we offer support that can help: a free Websterpak packing service, prescription dispensing with advice from our pharmacists, free home delivery, and free blood pressure and glucose checks. Each service below has its own page, or you can call us on (02) 4296 5548.

Prescriptions filled at our Flinders pharmacy, with advice on how and when to take your medicines.
Learn MoreA medication packing service puts your tablets and capsules into a sealed pack, sorted by day and time of day, so you can see at a glance what to take and whether a dose has been taken. Packs like these are known as dose administration aids. They can make life easier for people on several medicines and for the family members or carers who help them.
We offer a free Websterpak system for medication management, and our suremed service aims to take the complexity out of managing several medicines each day. If you are new to dose packing, our guide to Webster packs explained covers who they suit and how they work.
Our pharmacists dispense prescriptions and can talk you through how and when to take each medicine. Many prescriptions now arrive as an eScript: an electronic prescription your doctor sends to you by SMS or email as a token, in place of a paper script. Our guide to eScripts explains how they work and what to do with the token.
A medicine you can’t collect is a medicine you might miss. We offer free home delivery of medical and pharmaceutical supplies to residents across the Illawarra and Shellharbour community and surrounding suburbs, 7 days a week. Delivery can suit people with limited mobility, carers, and anyone who finds it hard to get to the pharmacy. Healthcare clinics within a 30-kilometre radius can also receive free daily deliveries. To see what to expect once you order, read about delivery times.
Living with a long-term condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes often means taking several medicines every day for years. Along with our medication management services, we offer free blood pressure and blood glucose checks, so you can keep an eye on your readings between visits to your GP. Taking a note of your readings to your next appointment helps your doctor see how things are tracking.
A pharmacist medication review looks at all of your medicines together, including over-the-counter products and supplements, to check they still suit you. Reviews like this can help avoid medication errors such as missed doses, doubled doses or medicines that don’t mix well.
