So what is RSS anyway?
RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. It's a way that we can provide you with product updates quickly, easily, and in a format you can use in a few different ways. An RSS file is a type of XML document containing summaries, links, images and other information that is read by an RSS reader (called an "aggregator") or used to post the content to other sites (most commonly on blogs).
What can I do with an RSS feed?
We recommend using an RSS aggregator so you can receive regularly updated information about our new products. An RSS aggregator is a way to regularly get updates from many web sites using their RSS feeds, not just London Drugs. Your RSS aggregator will be set to tell you when we have a new Product Showcase.
How does it work?
Once you decide what RSS aggregator or reader you will use, just add the links above to your list of subscribed feeds. We recommend the following methods for reading our RSS feeds: each one is easy to set up and, best of all, they're free!
