Blood Pressure Checks
 | Having high blood pressure (hypertension) can often be symptom-less. If left undetected and untreated this can increase your risk of a stroke or heart attack. That it is why it is always a good idea to check your blood pressure every so often. |
The test will be performed by a trained member of our team and if required the pharmacist will explain your results and advise you of the best course of action.
In some cases simply adjusting your lifestyle can help reduce your blood pressure and your pharmacist will advise you of these.
Diabetes Checks
 | Diabetes is a condition that can result in higher than normal levels of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious health problems over time. |
There are several signs and risk factors which would indicate presence of or chances of developing diabetes. It is wise to check your blood glucose every so often especially if you have risk factors as early detection is crucial to prevent long term complications. Cholesterol Checks
 | Cholesterol is a name given to a group of fatty products circulating in the bloodstream, which are essential for bodily function at the correct levels, but if too high can increase the risk of heart & circulatory disease. A simple blood test can tell your cholesterol level within a few minutes. |
The pharmacist & staff can help you with lifestyle advice to help maintain a healthy cholesterol level.
