About:
 
Russells Pharmacy - Helping Nelspruit get better since 1949.
Russells Pharmacy holds a special place in the hearts of many Nelspruit residents. That's because the Pharmacy has been in existence for almost sixty years.

Syd Russell bought the pharmacy from B. Owen Jones, in 1949, and in 1978, Piet Meyer joined the company. Anyone who has paid "Piet Pille" (as he is affectionately known) a visit over the past 30 years can attest to the fact that he is an energetic and caring pharmacist who always offers great advice and goes out of his way to help each and every customer.

The same goes for Hanru Prinsloo, who joined Piet as current co-owner shortly before they moved the pharmacy to the Promenade centre in 2009. Together, Piet, Hanru and the Russells Pharmacy team continue to offer their customers service with a smile, great advice and medicine at the right price.

Services:  

Dispensary
Our dispensary is the heart of our pharmacy. Our professional pharmacists, Hanru & Piet are always available to help you with your script and to give you the appropriate counselling and advice. We can meet all your medication needs including generics and ARV's.  
 
Medical-AIDS
Russells Pharmacy is contracted with all medical aids as well as Carecross, Scriptnet & Primecure. We will verify your claim on-line and offer you much needed assistance with your chronic medicine claim. The above pricing structure applies in this instance assisting the user who will ultimately benefit by the cost savings. The only levies payable are those required by the medical aid.

Chronic Medicine
We understand that the collection of Chronic Medication is an unpleasant chore, but it’s one you cannot ignore. That’s why we will do whatever we can to make it more pleasant for you. We will assist customers on chronic medication with their medical aid’s chronic authorisation process, and to speed up the collection of your chronic medication you can arrange to have your chronic medication pre-packed and ready for you to collect at your convenience.

Range of Products
Russells Pharmacy carries a wide range of products with respect to prescription and other medicines. We always strive to fill the complete prescription at the time of dispensing.

Generic Medicines
Generic alternatives are available for a wide range of prescribed items. We will always tell you when generics are available whilst leaving you to decide which you would prefer. We will however advise on whether the Generic Alternative is desirable from an efficacy point of view, as well as which Generic Alternative Product of the wide range available we think is the best option for you. No decision will be taken without the Prescriber's consent (provided the Doctor is available for consultation).
 
Repeat Prescriptions
Customers who have repeat prescriptions can now make use of our fax, phone or e-mail service to send through the prescriptions, which you can then collect at a convenient time to you.

Other Health Services
We offer injections for Flu, Measles, Tetanus, Immune boosters, pain and insulin as well as testing of blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol. We can also monitor chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and HIV.
