Went to Boots today to buy some basic things.

Benelyn, castor oil and chloramphenicol eye cream. Boots can’t get the eye cream ( haven’t been able to get it for months) and Benelyn is unavailable. No one seems to sell castor oil any more. Given that it’s impossible to get a doctors appointment how are we supposed to treat ourselves when even cough medicine isn’t available. I was given a Boots equivalent but it isn’t going to work as well as Benelyn ( if at all).

I also use Day Lewis for prescriptions and it is excellent .
The pharmacist is often changed , but all of them are very helpful to me .
