Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacy - Prince Rupert

Shoppers Drug Mart on 2nd Avenue West in Prince Rupert is a full-service pharmacy serving patients across the city and the surrounding northwest BC coast. Whether you need a prescription filled, a vaccine, or guidance on managing a minor health concern, the pharmacy team here is set up to help with a wide range of everyday health needs.

One of the more practical things about this location is how much you can handle in a single visit. If you have been putting off your flu shot or need to get caught up on vaccines like hepatitis A or B, shingles, HPV, meningitis, or pneumonia, the pharmacy offers immunization services without a long wait for a separate appointment. Travel consultations and yellow fever assessments are also available, which is genuinely useful if you are planning a trip and need health advice before you go.

Beyond vaccinations, the pharmacy provides testing and screening services including blood pressure checks, glucose and blood sugar testing, A1C testing for diabetes monitoring, cholesterol checks, and strep throat testing. For someone managing a chronic condition, being able to drop in for a quick check without visiting a clinic can save real time.

Minor ailment support is another area where this location can help. Conditions like urinary tract infections, skin rashes, eczema, cold sores, pink eye, and vaginal yeast infections can often be assessed and treated right at the pharmacy. If you wake up on a Saturday with a suspected UTI, for example, you may not need to wait for a clinic to open. The pharmacy team can also assist with things like acne treatment, nail fungus, oral fungal infections, and heartburn or reflux diet consultations.

Other services include smoking cessation support, sleep disorder guidance, contraception advice, the morning after pill, and help with muscle pain or headache management.

The store is located inside the mall at 500 2nd Avenue West, Unit 249, making it accessible whether you are running other errands or coming in specifically for pharmacy care. For Prince Rupert residents looking for convenient, community-based health support, this location covers a lot of ground in one place.
