What is this Health Advice & Guides section?

This Advice & Guides section is home to a range of guides that gives you advice on a wide range of topics. The topics we cover are based on common questions that we receive as a pharmacy, including questions based on what to take for hay fever or what you can take if you are pregnant, for example.
