Amcal South Melbourne Pharmacy

Trips to the pharmacy are not fun. It's a chore and a chore you typically have to do while sick to add insult.

The Amcal Pharmacy at South Melbourne is definitely the only pharmacy I've ever been to that I've actually wanted to send people to. The staff are the most helpful and compassionate I've come across.

They are a compounding pharmacy, which means they have different stock and can offer alternative solutions to your prescriptions. If you're having an issue that feels a bit unsolvable, go and talk to them. It's the kind of thing I used to stubbornly resist until I realised that they have multiple solutions for many ailments and will arm you with enough information to make your own choice or discuss with your doctor.

I'm not a fan of going to the pharmacy, but at least I trust them to help me out when I'm sick and grumpy!
