Important information
1) PharmacyLive.co.nz contains summarised information that is for educational purposes only. It should not replace the detailed, individual medical advice you will get from a doctor or pharmacist.
2) Just because a medicine or health product can be bought without a prescription does not mean it is suitable or safe for everyone – especially infants, children, the elderly, those with other health problems, those who are taking other medicines, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Health professional advice about medicines should always be sought in these circumstances..
If you are ever in any doubt about your health or a medicine, talk to your doctor or a pharmacist before starting or changing a treatment, or how it is used.
