Do I have to fill the walk-in clinic prescriptions at your pharmacy?

No. It is ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE of where you go with your prescription. We respect your choice as a pharmacy and you should never be told you have to fill a prescription somewhere (unless in rare cases such as narcotic contract). With that said, every prescription filled at our pharmacy helps to support the up-keep, maintenance and overall existence of the walk-in clinic that is so needed in this town. Also, we promise to fill the prescription fast, efficiently and accurately – allowing you to take advantage of our unique “one stop health experience” and be home in no time. We promise that if you do choose us, you will NOT be disappointed!

Does your pharmacy waive copays to save the customer money?

Yes. Our pharmacy waives $2.00 off of every Ontario Drug Benefit prescription (ODB) including the senior plan, ODSP, Disability, Ontario Works, Trillium, CCAC…etc. This means if you currently pay $2.00 for each prescription, you will pay $0 with us. If you currently pay $6.11 for your prescription, you will pay $4.11 with us.
We also COMPLETELY WAIVE co-pays for our blister packaging patients (meaning NO MORE $4.11 per medication) as we wish to promote good medication habits and find that these patients have the best outcomes and make the least medication errors! Visit our blister-packaging page for more details

Some restrictions apply, see pharmacy for details*

Do you give injections besides the flu shot?

Yes. We have special medical directives from doctors all over Sarnia allowing us to perform injections beyond the flu shot (ex. Shingles vaccine and travel vaccines). This can save you time by getting the injection right after you pick up the prescription, as opposed to going back to the doctor and waiting. See our injection section of the website for more details
