At Lordsland, we offer both medical consultations (clinic) and medication services (pharmacy) but many patients are unsure which one to visit first. Here’s a clear guide to help you decide where to go, depending on your needs.
What Happens at a Clinic?
A clinic is where you go to see a medical professional such as a doctor or nurse. You visit the clinic:
- When you’re feeling unwell and don’t know what’s wrong
- For physical exams, check-ups, and screenings
- To diagnose and treat infections, chronic conditions, or injuries
- For minor surgical procedures or lab tests
- To get a prescription or referral
Example: If you have chest pain, unusual fatigue, or flu-like symptoms — go to the clinic first. The doctor will examine you and recommend treatment.
What Happens at a Pharmacy?
A pharmacy is where you get the medicine prescribed by your doctor. At Lordsland Pharmacy, you can:
- Fill your prescription safely
- Get over-the-counter medication for pain, allergies, or cold symptoms
- Receive guidance on how to take your meds correctly
- Request chronic medication refills
- Ask health-related questions in a private setting
Example: If the doctor has given you a prescription for antibiotics or blood pressure tablets, the pharmacy is your next stop.

- After your consultation, you don’t need to walk far the pharmacy is on-site
- Our pharmacists communicate with your doctor to avoid medication errors
- We help manage chronic care through coordinated, patient-centered service
