About

Shoppers Drug Mart at Ellerslie and 50th Street SW serves residents across the T6X postal area of south Edmonton with a wide range of pharmacy and health services under one roof. Whether you need a routine prescription filled or are looking for guidance on a minor health concern, this location is set up to help with both everyday and more specific care needs.

The pharmacy team here handles far more than medication dispensing. Patients can walk in for vaccinations including flu shots, COVID-19, shingles, hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessment for those planning international travel. A travel health consultation is also available for anyone preparing for a trip abroad who wants to understand their immunization and health requirements before departure.

For minor ailments and common health issues, the pharmacists can assess and provide treatment or guidance for conditions like urinary tract infections, strep throat, pink eye, skin rashes, eczema, cold sores, canker sores, nail fungus, ringworm, jock itch, and vaginal yeast infections, among others. This means many patients can get the care they need without waiting for a separate clinic appointment.

Screening and monitoring services are also part of what this location offers. Blood pressure testing, A1C testing for blood sugar levels, and cholesterol and lipid checkups are available for patients managing or monitoring their cardiovascular and metabolic health. These quick assessments can be an important part of staying on top of chronic conditions between doctor visits.

Additional services include support for smoking cessation, contraception counseling, the morning after pill, sleep disorder guidance, and help managing symptoms like heartburn, reflux, indigestion, headaches, and muscle pain. Patients dealing with hemorrhoids, morning sickness, premenstrual cramps, insect bites, tick bites, diaper rash, and acne can also find practical support here.

Located in the Ellerslie area of southwest Edmonton, this Shoppers Drug Mart is accessible for families and individuals throughout the surrounding community. It operates as a full-service pharmacy and minor health clinic, making it a practical first stop for many healthcare needs throughout the year.

The A1C (HbA1c) test is a blood test that helps estimate average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. This service provides access to A1C testing for diabetes screening and monitoring, based on clinical need and risk factors.

You’ll receive guidance on how to prepare (if any preparation is required), what your result indicates, and recommended next steps. If results suggest prediabetes or diabetes, you’ll be directed to appropriate follow-up care and management resources.

Diagnosis and management of allergic conditions.

Athletes Foot

Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection that affects the skin of the feet, often causing itching, scaling, cracking, or burning between the toes. This service provides an assessment to confirm whether symptoms are consistent with athlete’s foot versus other causes of foot rash.

If appropriate, you’ll receive treatment recommendations such as antifungal options and practical self-care steps to improve comfort and reduce spread. You’ll also get guidance on hygiene and prevention to help lower the chance of recurrence.
