About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Mumford Road is a full-service pharmacy located inside West End Mall in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The location serves residents across the west end of the city, including nearby neighbourhoods like Clayton Park and Rockingham, making it a convenient stop for everyday health needs.

The pharmacy offers a wide range of clinical services that go well beyond simply filling prescriptions. Patients can come in for vaccinations, including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles, hepatitis A and B, HPV, pneumonia, meningitis, tetanus, RSV, and yellow fever assessments for those planning international travel. Whether you need a routine immunization or are preparing for a trip abroad, the pharmacy team can help you figure out what you need.

Minor ailment care is another practical reason many patients visit. The pharmacy can assist with common concerns like urinary tract infections, strep throat testing, pink eye, skin rashes and eczema, cold sores, canker sores, nail fungus, and vaginal yeast infections, among many others. For someone dealing with a UTI on a weekend when a walk-in clinic is packed, being able to speak with a pharmacist and receive treatment on the spot can make a real difference.

Preventive health services are also available, including blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar testing, A1C testing for diabetes monitoring, and cholesterol checkups. These are useful touchpoints for patients managing chronic conditions or simply keeping an eye on their overall health between doctor visits.

The pharmacy also supports patients working on longer-term health goals. Services include smoking cessation support, reflux and heartburn diet consultations, contraception guidance, and the morning after pill. Patients dealing with sleep difficulties, muscle pain, headaches, hemorrhoids, or digestive issues like indigestion can also receive guidance here.

Medications and drug counselling round out the core pharmacy experience. The team can review your prescriptions, explain how to take medications safely, and flag any potential interactions. This location is operational and accepting patients, so whether you are managing a chronic condition, recovering from a minor illness, or simply due for a vaccine, this Halifax pharmacy offers a practical and accessible option for your care.

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.
