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.

Absolutely lack of confidentiality from the pharmacist(a young lady) when giving me the medication I asked. Her colleague , a young man, even dared to tell me that I can not speak English( I am a registered professional living and working in this country for many yrs). I felt humiliated and I want to go forward with a formal complaint as I am surprised that these 2 individuals work in Health. Such a shameful and ignorant behaviour. Avoid this place!
