Flu Vaccination
The flu (influenza) is a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory tract, and is spread from person to person through coughs and sneezes. Many people confuse the symptoms with the common cold, however the flu is much worse. Older people and those with an underlying medical condition could also develop complications as a result of the flu.
Vaccination can help stop the spread of the virus in the community, protection develops about 2 weeks after receiving then vaccination and lasts for up to one year. In store we have pharmacists qualified to administer influenza vaccinations to adults.
Natural Medicines
Our ACNEM certified pharmacists are available to help with nutritional and natural medicines advice for you and your family. As a practitioner of natural and nutritional medicine our certified pharmacist is able to advise on complementary medicines including their benefits, how to take them and how they may compliment or interact with your prescription medicines. We stock a wide range of vitamins, herbs and supplements and are registered to recommend and dispense specialised practitioner only products.

myDNA
Your unique genetic profile determines how your body responds to certain medications. That is why some people get minimal benefit or may experience dangerous side-effects. The latest research allows us to personalise your medication by reviewing your DNA and assessing how your body processes many common medications.
MyDNA is a genetic test that identifies which medications will work best for you. It is a pharmacogenomic test that identifies gene variants in four major enzyme systems and how these genes metabolise commonly prescribed medications.
myDNA identifies how your individual genetic structure will respond to medication so your doctor can prescribe the most suitable medication at the right dosage for your body.
Absence from Work Certificates
If you require an absence from work certificate for a minor ailment and are unable to access your doctor, our pharmacists can help. Our Pharmacist’s are able to write absence from work certificates for sick leave or carer’s leave that cover a maximum of two days.
No appointment is required.
Hearing Clinics
As one of our primary senses, our ability to hear well is something that many of us take for granted. Although hearing loss can occur throughout life, its prevalence increases as we get older. Despite over one in five Australian adults living with hearing impairment, it is often a health concern that many ignore. At TerryWhite Chemmart® Doubleview we offer regular hearing assesments conducted by Telethon Speech and Hearing.
