Whether you need to pick up a prescription or just need advice, come into your local Piggotts Pharmacy today and make your health your number one priority!

Pharmacy compounding is the science of preparing personalised medications for patients. At our Piggotts Pharmacy in Lambton, we have the ability to compound more complex prescriptions so that individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. For example if you require a medicine that is not readily available, or you are sensitive or allergic to a preservative found in your medicine. Or perhaps you or your child has trouble taking their medicine?

Ruth Scott has been helping mothers in Newcastle care for their babies for almost 30 years. Come into Piggotts on Glebe Road (no booking required) to ask Ruth about your baby’s health on Monday mornings between 9.30am-12.30pm. You can also join our Baby health club to get nutrition and feeding support, check your baby’s weight, receive expert advice plus receive free samples and a 5% discount in-store.
