About
Shoppers Drug Mart on Tacoma Drive in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia is a full-service pharmacy serving the local community with a wide range of health and wellness services. Whether you need a prescription filled, a vaccine administered, or guidance on a minor health concern, this location is set up to support patients with practical, accessible care close to home.
The pharmacy team here handles much more than medication dispensing. Patients can come in for blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar checks, A1C testing, and cholesterol monitoring, making it a convenient stop for keeping tabs on ongoing health conditions. Strep throat testing and UTI treatment are also available, which can save a trip to a walk-in clinic for common issues that need prompt attention.
Vaccinations are a significant part of what this location offers. Flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, and immunizations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever are all available. Patients planning international travel can also access travel consultation services to understand what vaccines or precautions may be needed before their trip.
For everyday health concerns, the pharmacy provides support for conditions like acne, skin rashes, eczema, nail fungus, cold sores, pink eye, and insect bites. Help is available for digestive issues including reflux, heartburn, and indigestion, as well as concerns like sleep disorders, headache management, and muscle pain. Reproductive and sexual health services include contraception counselling, the morning after pill, erectile dysfunction support, and treatment for vaginal yeast infections and premenstrual symptoms.
Patients looking to quit smoking can also speak with pharmacy staff about cessation options, which is a meaningful service for anyone ready to take that step.
Located in the Tacoma area of Dartmouth, this Shoppers Drug Mart is accessible for residents across the eastern Halifax Regional Municipality. It is a familiar and reliable option for patients who want professional health guidance without always needing a separate medical appointment. Visiting is straightforward, and the range of services means many health needs can be addressed in a single stop.
Services
Treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs), typically involving antibiotics.
Cold sores are clusters of blisters typically caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), often appearing on or around the lips. This service provides evaluation of symptoms and, when appropriate, treatment options that may help reduce severity and shorten the course—especially when started early.
You’ll also receive guidance on symptom relief, reducing spread to others, and identifying common outbreak triggers. If lesions are severe, frequent, or involve the eye area, you’ll be directed to urgent or specialized care.
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) causes redness, irritation, tearing, and sometimes discharge. This service provides an assessment to help distinguish common causes—viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritant—so you can get the right care and reduce the risk of spreading infection.
You’ll receive guidance on symptom relief, hygiene, and return-to-work/school considerations. If symptoms suggest a more serious eye issue—such as severe pain, light sensitivity, or vision changes—you’ll be directed to urgent eye care.
Medical procedures or therapies to reduce or eliminate acne.
This service evaluates common rashes and eczema (atopic dermatitis), which can cause itching, dryness, redness, and irritation. A clinician reviews your symptom pattern, exposures, and skincare routine to help identify likely triggers and rule out infections or allergic reactions that may need different treatment.
You’ll receive a practical plan that may include moisturization strategies, anti-inflammatory options, and trigger avoidance recommendations. If the rash is severe, spreading, or associated with fever or swelling, you’ll be advised on urgent or in-person care.
