• Blister Packs and Dosette Boxes

• Paper Alternative to Plastic Pill Bottles

  • If you are interested in having your next refill in a Phill Box, please let the pharmacy staff know at the time you place your request.
• Prescription Extensions
  • Pharmacists have the authority to renew most prescriptions to ensure that patients do not experience a disruption in their treatment.
• Medication Therapy Reviews
  • If you take several different medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, vitamins, and herbal supplements, one of our knowledgeable pharmacists can sit down with you and help you understand what you are taking, why you are taking it, if there are any potential interactions between your medications, and let you know if there are any medications you no longer need to take.
• Patient Counselling
  • Our pharmacists are always available to help you choose the best over-the-counter product for you. Are you looking for an OTC product to help treat a cold, allergies, muscle aches and pains, hemorrhoids, eczema, etc.?  One of our caring pharmacists will work with you to ensure that you find the product that is right for you or someone you care for.
