Stay Healthy for Winter

Immune Function Support

Winter can be a tough time on families when the cough and cold bugs strike. You can help your immune system cope during the winter months. Visit us at Unichem Southend Pharmacy and talk about the right product to support your body's natural defences.

Probiotics

Antibiotic medication, stress, excessive alcohol and the contraceptive pill can create an imbalance of good and bad micro flora in the intestinal tract. This can lead to an increased incidence of thush, bloating, diarrhoea and other digestive problems. Probiotics help minimise these effects and support healthy gut flora.

Vaccinations

We have two trained pharmacists to administer the flu vaccine for patients are over 16 and under 65. Our trained pharmacists can also administer whooping cough and tetanus vaccines.
