Care Chemist

"This place is dangerous. Use at your own risk. I am an occasional visitor to the UK. I have used Care Pharmacy twice this year, as it's near to where I stay. The first time, back in May, I asked for some paracetamol. Only after taking 2 tablets did I notice on the box that I'd been given something which contains both paracetamol and added caffeine. The second visit (with a much more serious error), was this week. I wanted some cream to relieve the symptoms of eczema, and explained that it was for around my eyes. The pharmacist opened a glass cabinet, checked 3 different creams, and sold me one called Cicaplast which she said would definitely be OK to use around my eyes. Today, the area all around my eyes is red, inflamed, tight, and incredibly painful. It's been like this for 2 days. So I checked the label on the tube and it says "avoid the eye contour area". I have no idea what the pharmacist was reading when she checked the directions for me. Avoid this pharmacy, people. It's not safe. I shall be making a formal complaint later on."

"I have been going to Care Pharmacy in Stanmore for three years. It is always a pleasure to go in as you are always greeted with a warm smile and help is always available from the Pharmacist., no matter the query they deal with it so kindly, nothing is too much trouble to them. Thank you CARE pharmacy, you really do care. Beverly"

"Lovely pharmacy. The staff is always lovely especially the lady, I totally forgot her name, she is Romanian and brunette. I think Maya is her name. Whenever I need some advices , she always been there for me. She loves her job and takes care about customers. In the future , I hope they will bring products from La Roche Posay. I love the brand but I can’t find in the pharmacy but I buy Avene instead , as the lady advised me."

"Long live the independent pharmacy shop! There is something very special about knowing one's pharmacist and their team not only recognise you but care about how you are. I feel privileged to have that relationship with Care Chemist, Stanmore. They liaise with my GP and nothing is too much trouble. They are always happy to answer questions, give advice and generally keep-up-to-date with how I'm doing. This has always been the case - though since the first lock down their caring attitude has been even more obvious; I was telephoned to make sure I was OK - and told not to worry about prescriptions as they would be delivered. I wholeheartedly recommend them and praise their consistent helpful & attentive approach."

"Got my travel vaccines on the same day. Very friendly staff. great service all round and good price. So no complaints ,hence a five star."
