Minor Ailments
Your Prescribing Pharmacist
Our pharmacy offers minor ailment assessment for all 28 common conditions that Ontario pharmacists are authorized to assess and prescribe for. Skip the wait at a walk-in clinic - our pharmacist can assess your symptoms and, if appropriate, prescribe a treatment right here at the pharmacy.
Walk-ins are welcome!
No appointment is needed. If you would prefer to book an appointment, please call us at 519-214-4000.
How it works
- Visit the pharmacy and let us know you would like to see the pharmacist for a minor ailment.
- Our pharmacist will ask about your symptoms and health history.
- If appropriate, the pharmacist will prescribe a medication or recommend an over-the-counter treatment. If your condition needs further care, we will refer you to your doctor or another health care provider.
- We will let your family doctor or nurse practitioner know about any prescription.
Please bring your Ontario health card. Minor ailment assessments are publicly funded for Ontario residents with a valid health card. Some restrictions apply.
