The Shoprite Group opened its second stand-alone Medirite Plus Pharmacy in the Western Cape at the Checkers Centre in Stellenbosch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a one-stop health and wellness destination, MediRite Plus offers an affordable and accessible product range that includes health, beauty, baby and skincare brands such as CeraVe and Skoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first Medirite Plus opened at Willowbridge Village in Tyger Valley late last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers can fulfil all their pharmaceutical needs with qualified, professional pharmacists on duty to assist and advise. MediRite Plus also stocks specialised health-care items such as wheelchairs, walkers and crutches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting prescription medicine is more convenient with PrepMyScript, which makes it easy to pre-order chronic repeat medication, while the Medirite Courier Pharmacy Service also delivers repeat prescriptions straight to one\u2019s door at no extra cost. It is a free service contracted to most medical aids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pharmacy accepts all major medical aids and customers can also use their Xtra Savings cards to benefit from the group\u2019s rewards programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martionette Voigt, pharmacy manager at MediRite Plus, is a Shoprite bursary holder who completed her internship with MediRite and has worked for the chain ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trading hours of Medirite Plus in Stellenbosch are weekdays from 08:00 to 19:00, Saturdays from 08:00 to 17:00, and Sundays from 08:00 to 14:00. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
