About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Topsail Road in St. John's is a full-service pharmacy serving residents across the A1E area and surrounding neighbourhoods in eastern Newfoundland. Whether you need a prescription filled, a vaccine before an upcoming trip, or guidance on managing a minor health concern, the pharmacy team here is set up to help with a wide range of everyday healthcare needs.

One of the more practical things about this location is how much you can take care of in a single visit. Beyond dispensing medications, the pharmacy offers clinical services like blood pressure testing, glucose and A1C checks, and cholesterol monitoring, which can be genuinely useful for anyone keeping an eye on their long-term health between doctor appointments. If you wake up with a sore throat, a pharmacist can perform strep throat testing and walk you through next steps. That kind of accessible, same-day support matters when you are trying to avoid a longer wait elsewhere.

The vaccination options here are also quite broad. Flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, and immunizations for hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, and tetanus are all available. Travelers can also access yellow fever assessments and general travel consultation to prepare for destinations that require specific immunizations.

For common conditions that do not always require a full clinic visit, pharmacists here can assist with things like urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast infections, skin rashes, cold sores, pink eye, and more. There is support available for quitting smoking, managing heartburn or reflux through dietary consultation, and addressing concerns like sleep difficulties or erectile dysfunction. It is the kind of place where, if you are dealing with something like a recurring skin rash and are not sure whether to see a doctor, you can stop in and get a clear, practical answer without a lot of fuss.

The pharmacy is located at 390 Topsail Road and is currently operational. It is a convenient stop for St. John's residents looking for accessible, community-level healthcare support alongside their regular pharmacy needs.

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.
