Regular monitoring of HbA1c levels is a key component of diabetes prevention and the management of diabetes mellitus. The HbA1c level, also known as long-term blood sugar, provides information about the average blood sugar level over the past 8 to 12 weeks. It enables a reliable assessment of long-term blood sugar control, regardless of short-term fluctuations.

Unhealthy diet, stress, overweight and smoking are among the risk factors for high blood pressure. By regularly measuring your blood pressure, you can react early on.

Persistent tiredness? Feeling unwell? Blurred vision? Thirst or frequent urination?

A blood sugar test can tell you whether you are at risk of diabetes. All it takes is a single drop of blood. We measure your blood sugar level at any time (whether you have fasted or not).

Measuring blood lipid levels is a key part of preventing cardiovascular disease. At our pharmacy, we offer a professional and reliable assessment of your cholesterol profile, including total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. The test is quick and straightforward, requiring only a small blood sample. 

Would you like to protect yourself and those around you from Covid? The Covid-19 vaccination offers protection against severe cases of the disease. The vaccination is recommended in autumn (from mid-October to December) and consists of a single dose, regardless of the number of doses already received or the number of infections already had. A minimum interval of 6 months must be observed since the last vaccine dose or the last known SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In principle, vaccinations against Covid-19 and influenza can be administered at the same time.

The minimum age for the Covid-19 vaccine is 16 years.

Does it hurt when you urinate? Passing frequent, small amounts of urine?

The ear check is quick and straightforward and can, in many cases, replace a visit to the doctor. If there is a build-up of earwax, we gently remove it using an ear irrigation procedure.

Erectile dysfunction is a common issue that affects many men and can have various causes. Expert advice plays a key role in providing personalised support to those affected and identifying suitable treatment options. The consultation is conducted by a pharmacist in a private consultation room.
