There are many medications used for treating minor skin, ear, ear, and nose disorders. there are also many different minor skin, ear, ear, and nose disorders, Because of the sheer number of conditions and medications you might not have the experience on these various disorders and their treatments. Therefore, when a customer requests a particular OTC medicine, for a particular disorder, unless you are fully aware of both the medication and the condition then the customer should be referred to the pharmacist for clinical advice but can also be signposted to quality, evidence-based resources including:
- The website NHS Inform Scotland Skin which is a useful resource to customers for minor skin, hair and nail disorder conditions and treatments.
- Another part of the same website NHS Inform Eyes has similar information on eye disorders.
- Also NHS Inform ENT covers ears, nose and throat (ENT) disorders.
