Dealing With An Unplanned Pharmacy Closure

The well-being of our patients is our top priority. Although it’s uncommon, unforeseen circumstances can lead to an unplanned closure of our pharmacy. We want to ensure you’re well informed and prepared in the event this happens.

What Is An Unplanned Closure?

An unplanned closure refers to unexpected situations where the pharmacy is unable to operate as normal. This can be due to factors such as power outages, natural disasters, or unforeseen staff shortages.

Ensuring Uninterrupted Medication Supply

While we strive to provide consistent service, it’s always a good idea to be proactive about your health. This means keeping track of your medication needs and refilling your prescriptions before they run out.

In Case Of Emergency

If you are out of a vital medication and unable to get a refill due to our unexpected closure, seek immediate medical attention. Contact your healthcare provider, visit the nearest hospital, or call 999 in case of a life-threatening situation.
