Pharmasave

Went there to get cough medicine for a virus that my partner and I have picked up. I'm a bit sick of buying expensive syrups/tablets that do little or nothing so I asked about the active ingredients and how it works. The retail assistant read me aloud the description on the box soothes dry cough" and when I asked how it worked she shrugged her shoulders said "I don't know". Glorified supermarket."

Pharmasave South Melbourne prescription prices were more than double the price I previously paid at Chemist Warehouse, I would not recommend going there to fill your prescriptions and won't be going there again. I also wrote to them about this, but did not receive a response.

Incredibly rude and dismissive. Customer service is appalling and I would never go back.

2 stars because at least the chemists / pharmacists are actually nice and shows good customer service but some people at the counter / cashier needs some serious lessons about working in a store. 0 customer service. They don’t even look at you when you go to the counter. Just takes the items from you and then pretend like you’re not there. Takes money while looking away or while talking to others and then just put the items back on the counter. Never say thank you or never greets. Learn some manners and show some courtesy. You’re not handing out anything for free

Went in today asking whether they had a drug available, and was LAUGHED at.What makes it worse (if it wasn't bad enough already), was that this was the second time in a few months that they'd laughed when it wasn't available. That makes it 2 out of 2 visits that a health practitioner felt it was somehow appropriate to be outwardly amused that a drug, which a patient's health, quality of life and wellbeing relied on, was out of stock. This is shameful.After reading some of the comments here, I agree - this is a glorified supermarket.

Honestly can't make my mind up about this place, have had good and bad experiences. Would prefer to walk further to the pharmacy on bay st where I know I will get really friendly service

Update: Good place to get your Moderna or AstraZeneca vaccinations - they have booking system but also accept walk ins. Best to check ahead as days are allocated to specific vaccine.Original Review: Good local pharmacy that's open seven days a week. Located inside South Melbourne Central & also accessible from the street. The pharmacists are friendly & helpful; ready to give advice about prescribed drugs & the medicinal management of health issues. In addition to standard medicines, PSMP have an on-site compounding pharmaceutical service.They have an extensive range of non-prescription items including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, dressings, skin care & beauty products, as well as cosmetics & gift ideas. An outlet for Pinc skin care range which was developed by pharmacists.

I had a COVID booster here and just wanted to commend the staff on how patient the staff were when helping a man with disabilities.He had no care staff with him, and just an A4 paper letter chart to communicate. The staff took all the time they could to talk with him and understand that he was here too for a booster. Awesome to see that respect.

A great place to do business, very helpful staff.

The asian lady pharmacist wasn't helpful when I asked about medicine but kind australian male pharmacist helped me thankfully
