Description

Ōtorohanga Express Pharmacy has merged with Unichem Ōtorohanga Pharmacy 

Due to the nationwide shortage of pharmacists available, Ōtorohanga Express Pharmacy has had to make the difficult decision to merge with the Unichem Ōtorohanga Pharmacy in the main street of Ōtorohanga. 
This means that there are two pharmacists on duty to help with you with any queries you have with your medication. 
If this means it is difficult for you to access your medication, please call us on 07 873 7294 and we can get your medicine delivered to you in town, or bring it out to you as you wait in your car.


Pharmacists can help to support the health of your family; they can provide advice and treatment for common minor illnesses for all ages.

Pharmacists ensure that prescriptions are dispensed correctly and that the medicine and dose is appropriate for you, so that you receive the maximum benefits from your medicines. Your pharmacist will help you understand what your medicines are prescribed for, how to take them, possible side effects and how to store them.

All advice and treatment is conducted in a professional and confidential manner and most services are provided free of charge and do not generally require an appointment.

For safe disposal, please return any expired or unwanted medicines, or needles/lancets and syringes to your pharmacy. There is no charge for this service.

Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions.
