A cough is a reflex action to clear an irritant from your airways.
Influenza (flu)
The flu season in the UK is considered to run from October through to March. In most years it tends to occur within an eight to ten week period starting around mid-November.
Smoking Cessation
There’s lots of reasons why people may want to stop smoking. It might be the health benefits to themselves, financial reasons or it may be to protect those around them from the harms of second-hand smoke. Whatever your reasons are to stop, our friendly team at M&D Green are here to help and support you along the way.
Alcohol Awareness
We’re encouraging people to have more Drink Free Days – a simple way to improve your wellbeing by cutting out a few drinks. The chances are you’re already having some days without alcohol, so adding another day or two should be easy.

Alongside extensive support and guidance, our pharmacists are equipped to prescribe a range of medications scientifically proven to help our patients achieve their weight loss goals.
