Having Surgery ?
Being prepared for surgery helps reduce the stress for you and your caregiver.
Lagans Pharmacy can help you…..
Your surgeon will need to know about any medicines you are taking to safety plan your procedure. We can give you an official copy of your medicines chart listing all of your medicines, the dose and directions.
Leaving hospital you will want to get home to rest. Ask the hospital staff to fax us your prescription - we can have it ready for you . Get your free medicine schedule from us to remind you when each medicine is to be taken.
Remember to eat well and drink fluids, prioritize rest. Your body needs lots of support to help repair.
We can help boost your recovery with quality supplements tailored especially for you. Take before and after surgery.
And we can check and change wound dressings, until you see your doctor.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
