Prescribed Capsules Not Tallying

<p>I am really disappointed with the pharmacist at Durbell Tygervalley. I have been collecting my prescription (the same) at Tygervalley for over a year now. And I just left the pharmacy an hour ago, collecting my usual prescription. When I got home and saw the amount of capsules in the contains, I thought I should actually count the capsules myself. The guy (a grey-haired caucasian) dispensed 28 capsules instead of the 30 capsules that is prescribed to me and that I pay for. This has me wondering how many times I have been 'short-changed' as I have been collecting these meds for about 18 months now at the same pharmacy. I am really utterly disappointed. This was my last prescription (of the 6 month prescription) and I will reconsider ever visiting any of your pharmacies. So unprofessional. Unfortunately, your system was offline so he (pharmacist) could not print a label (with his details on). </p>

Thank you to Henk (the gentleman who helped me yesterday) for responding promptly. He called, apologised and arranged to delivery personally to my doorstep. I have just received my capsules. Such a gentleman.

Thank you Henk. I appreciate your efforts.
