Morning medical annoyance

[andrewducker]

It always surprises me that Boots isn't open until 9am. You would have thought that there'd be enough people wanting to pick up painkillers or similar on the way in to work.

Isn’t the tesco et al have the market on the 10 packs of paracetamol!

[andrewducker]

Yes, but sadly the stuff that I want is sold by Boots. (Stuff that helps with my IBS. Not from the pharmacy, just general medicine.)

It does seem odd, but Superdrug seem to open at 9am too.

'Savers' locally opens at 8.30

[andrewducker]

8:30 would be awesome.

Bummer. My pharmacy opens at 7 on weekdays, 8 on weekends, and there's a 24-hour one a few miles away.

There are a couple of 24-hour pharmacies in Edinburgh, but none anywhere near me.

Looking at the "open late" ones, almost none are also open early. Only really the airport or the train station: https://www.24hr-pharmacy.co.uk/location/edinburgh/open-late
