Not always! The outcome depends on your assessment with the pharmacist.
If the pharmacist feels confident that the symptoms of your condition merit a prescription, the pharmacist will prescribe the appropriate medication for you.
However, in some cases, your symptoms may not meet the criteria for a prescription. In these cases, the pharmacist may recommend an over-the-counter product to treat your condition or, if it is more serious, refer you to your doctor or the HealthSense Medical Walk-In Clinic on-site.
