What to bring to the pharmacy

When visiting the pharmacy, bring your government-issued ID, such as the BC Services Card, as well as your Personal Health Number (PHN). Please note that prescriptions are issued based on pharmacist’s assessment and professional judgement. Treatment may include referral to another healthcare professional. Prescription medications prescribed by a pharmacist undergo the same coverage eligibility (both provincial and private) as physician-prescribed medications.

Two easy steps to take before booking an appointment:

1. Make use of the self-assessment checklist to assess your symptoms.
2. If your symptoms align with minor ailments or if you need to discuss contraception, contact us to schedule an appointment or drop in to one of our locations.
