SENIMED pharmacies: extended opening hours and expert advice

16. 12. 2024

The season of viruses, flu, colds and other illnesses is currently on the rise. This is also associated with a higher demand for medicines, vitamins and other dietary supplements. That is why we have extended the opening hours of our SENIMED pharmacy in Hostomice pod Brdy, every Friday until 3 pm.

In any autumn season, the greatest interest is in products for immunity, coughs, colds and blocked sinuses. There has also been a recent increase in interest in tests for covid-19, which is now on the rise. "We mainly advise clients to rest, control fever and treat coughs. It depends if it is dry or wet and deploy preparations accordingly. Eventually, taking vitamin D is recommended or we have very good experience with preparations containing betaglucans. They stimulate cellular immunity and are very good for immunity. I also recommend them as a prevention against colds," explains Mgr. Magdaléna Čížková. In addition to these common autumn viruses, however, there are also digestive tract diseases and, according to the pharmacist, people come especially for charcoal and anti-diarrhoeal medicines.

The SENIMED network of stone pharmacies includes, in addition to the one in Hořovice, the pharmacy at the Hořovice Hospital and the Rehabilitation Hospital in Beroun, and the pharmacy at U Červeného potoka in Hořovice, which is open every day from eight in the morning until six in the evening. It also includes the U Černého orla pharmacy in Hořovice and Žebrák.

"In our pharmacy at the Hořovice Hospital, in addition to the usual services, we also provide consultancy activities, such as expert advice on treatment. Whether there are any duplications in the prescribed drugs, interactions, increased dosage compared to the standard, we address side effects with clients, etc. We also offer consultations on smoking cessation or diabetes screening. We also have a wide range of medical devices and a range of health shoes. In the pharmacy at the Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital, the range is even richer. There we also offer various massage and rehabilitation aids," adds Čížková.
