Guardian Health & Beauty at #01-17/18 Canberra Plaza, 133 Canberra Vw in Sembawang, is an outlet of Singapore's familiar health-and-beauty pharmacy chain, holding a 3.2 rating on Google.
A good neighbourhood pharmacy is often the first stop before the GP clinic: for coughs, rashes, aches and other minor ailments, the pharmacist behind the counter can recommend an over-the-counter remedy and, just as usefully, say when a symptom really needs a doctor. It also pays to bring a list of medicines you already take, to ask whether a cheaper generic exists for a repeat prescription, and to check use-by dates on discounted stock — long-standing habits of regulars. Mall pharmacies double as a handy one-stop for sunscreen, first-aid basics and the toiletries you forgot you needed.
For residents around Canberra and Sembawang, having a pharmacy at Canberra Plaza keeps the everyday health run short and simple.
