About

Shoppers Drug Mart at 409 Tache Avenue in Winnipeg's Saint Boniface neighbourhood offered residents a convenient, community-based destination for both everyday pharmacy needs and a wide range of clinical health services. Situated in the R2H postal area of Manitoba, this location was accessible to patients across the east side of Winnipeg who needed reliable care close to home.

The pharmacy provided a broad scope of services that went well beyond simply filling prescriptions. Patients could visit for vaccinations including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessments for those planning international travel. Whether you were keeping up with routine immunizations or preparing for a trip abroad, having access to a travel consultation and multiple vaccines in one place made the process straightforward.

For minor ailments and common health concerns, the pharmacy team could assist with conditions like pink eye, strep throat testing, urinary tract infections, skin rashes, eczema, ringworm, nail fungus, cold sores, and oral fungal infections. Patients dealing with digestive concerns such as reflux, heartburn, or indigestion could also receive guidance, as could those managing headaches, muscle pain, or sleep difficulties. Support was available for sexual and reproductive health needs, including contraception, the morning after pill, and erectile dysfunction. Smoking cessation support was another practical service offered to those ready to take that step.

Preventive health monitoring was part of the picture as well. Blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar checks, A1C testing, and cholesterol and lipid checkups gave patients a way to stay on top of their health without needing a separate clinic appointment. These types of screenings can make a real difference in catching concerns early.

Please note that according to available information, this location is permanently closed. Patients in the Winnipeg area looking for similar pharmacy and health services are encouraged to check nearby Shoppers Drug Mart locations or other local pharmacies that may offer comparable care.
