About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Frederica Street in Thunder Bay offers a wide range of pharmacy and health services to residents in the east end of the city and the surrounding P7E area. Whether you are picking up a prescription or looking for guidance on a minor health concern, this location is set up to help with both everyday needs and more specific clinical services.

The pharmacy team here handles much more than filling medications. Patients can come in for vaccinations including flu shots, COVID-19, shingles, hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessments for those planning international travel. If you are heading somewhere tropical and need a travel health consultation, this is a practical first stop before your trip.

For minor ailments, the pharmacy offers assessments and treatment options for conditions like urinary tract infections, strep throat, pink eye, skin rashes, cold sores, canker sores, nail fungus, and vaginal yeast infections, among others. You can also get support for ongoing health monitoring through blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar checks, A1C testing, and cholesterol screenings. These kinds of routine checks can make a real difference in catching issues early, especially for patients managing diabetes or heart health.

Other services include help with quitting smoking, contraception advice, the morning after pill, and management of common concerns like acid reflux, heartburn, sleep difficulties, and muscle pain. Patients dealing with skin conditions such as eczema, acne, or dandruff can also find guidance here without needing a separate appointment elsewhere.

Think of it this way: if you wake up with a sore throat and are not sure whether it needs treatment, you can walk in for a strep throat test and get an answer the same day. That kind of accessible, practical care is what makes a full-service pharmacy like this a useful part of managing your health in Thunder Bay. The location at 151 West Frederica Street is operational and serves a broad mix of patients looking for convenient, community-based healthcare support.

Services Offered

Services

A1C Test

The A1C (HbA1c) test is a blood test that helps estimate average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. This service provides access to A1C testing for diabetes screening and monitoring, based on clinical need and risk factors.

You’ll receive guidance on how to prepare (if any preparation is required), what your result indicates, and recommended next steps. If results suggest prediabetes or diabetes, you’ll be directed to appropriate follow-up care and management resources.

Acne Treatment

Medical procedures or therapies to reduce or eliminate acne.

Allergy Services

Diagnosis and management of allergic conditions.

Athletes Foot

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.

Blood Pressure Testing

A procedure to measure the force of blood against artery walls, used to diagnose and monitor hypertension.

Canker Sores

Canker sores are small, painful ulcers inside the mouth that can make eating and speaking uncomfortable. This service offers an assessment to confirm that the sores fit typical canker sore patterns and to rule out other causes that may need different care.

You’ll receive recommendations for pain relief and mouth care, along with advice on common triggers and how to support healing. If symptoms are severe, recurrent, or atypical, you’ll be guided on next steps and appropriate follow-up.
