About

Shoppers Drug Mart at Ottawa and River in Kitchener offers a broad range of pharmacy and health services to patients in the surrounding N2A area and across Waterloo Region. Whether you need a routine prescription filled or are looking for clinical support beyond the pharmacy counter, this location is equipped to help with a wide variety of everyday health concerns.

The pharmacy team can assist with medication dispensing and counselling, along with minor ailment care that covers conditions like urinary tract infections, pink eye, strep throat, cold sores, skin rashes, and vaginal yeast infections. Patients dealing with digestive issues such as reflux, heartburn, or indigestion can also access guidance here, as can those managing concerns like hemorrhoids, canker sores, or premenstrual cramps.

Vaccination services are a significant part of what this location offers. Flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, HPV, hepatitis A and B, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessments are all available. For patients planning international travel, a travel consultation can help identify which vaccines or precautions apply to your destination.

Preventive health screening is another practical reason to visit. Blood pressure testing, A1C testing for blood sugar monitoring, and cholesterol and lipid checkups are offered on-site, making it easier to stay on top of key health indicators without needing a separate clinic appointment.

The pharmacy also supports patients managing skin conditions including acne, eczema, nail fungus, ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot. Additional services include allergy support, erectile dysfunction treatment, contraception and morning after pill access, smoking cessation programs, and sleep disorder consultations.

Located at 1005 Ottawa St. N in Kitchener's east end, the store is accessible to patients in the surrounding neighbourhoods along the Ottawa Street corridor. It operates as a full-service drugstore, meaning patients can address multiple health needs in a single visit. If you are unsure whether a particular service is available or want to confirm current hours, contacting the pharmacy directly before your visit is recommended.

Services Offered

Services

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment

Treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs), typically involving antibiotics.

Cold Sores

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

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.

Acne Treatment

Medical procedures or therapies to reduce or eliminate acne.

Allergies – Stuffy nose (Allergic Rhinitis)

Morning Sickness

Morning sickness can range from mild nausea to frequent vomiting that affects daily life. This service provides an assessment of symptom severity, hydration status, and possible triggers, with a focus on safe options during pregnancy.

You’ll receive recommendations for diet and lifestyle strategies as well as medication options when appropriate, along with guidance on red flags such as dehydration, weight loss, or inability to keep fluids down.
