Note that prescribing common ailments is not always covered by provincial health care, so a pharmacy fee may apply. The ability of our pharmacists to assess and prescribe for certain minor ailments depends on provincial regulations. Some conditions may require a referral to a doctor or another healthcare provider. Prescriptions are provided at the pharmacist’s discretion based on an assessment of your symptoms and medical history. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or worsening, seek medical attention immediately.
