Shingles - Pharmacy First Service
This service is available for adults aged 18 years and over. Patients presenting with shingles could be eligible for medication supply.
About Shingles
The first signs of shingles can be:
- a tingling or painful feeling in an area of skin
- a headache or feeling generally unwell
A rash will usually appear a few days later. In rare cases shingles can cause pain without a rash.
Usually you get the shingles rash on your chest and tummy, but it can appear anywhere on your body including on your face, eyes and genitals.
The rash appears as blotches on your skin, on 1 side of your body only. A rash on both the left and right of your body is unlikely to be shingles.

Testimonials
what Our client’s say
Switched to Swift from Rowlands; what a difference. It's basic stuff really... They are polite, helpful and competent, everything Rowlands are not. Frankly I had forgotten that it was possible to pick up ones medications without being treated like dirt every time.
