A locally owned and operated pharmacy at 26 Islington Street in Kawerau, K-Town Pharmacy is open Monday to Friday, and it says customers can come in without an appointment. Its pharmacists give advice, and it offers NZ Post services, blood pressure checks, vitamin B12 injections, first aid kits, ear piercing, medicine packs and a needle disposal service. Funded services include emergency contraception, head lice treatment, urinary tract infection treatment, children's pain and fever treatment, children's oral rehydration, children's conjunctivitis, scabies treatment and rheumatic fever throat swabbing. Customers can also talk to an emergency doctor by video, in the pharmacy, with no enrolment needed.
From June 2026, the pharmacy offers a new range of consultations, including treatment for urinary tract infections for women aged 16 to 65, for which the patient pays only a small copayment if they are eligible. The pharmacy is a Southern Cross Easy Claims provider, and its phone number is 07 323 8859. The team says it knows many patients personally.
