About

Shoppers Drug Mart at Bloor and Bedford is a full-service pharmacy located at 236 Bloor Street West in Toronto, right in the heart of the Annex neighbourhood near the University of Toronto. Whether you are picking up a prescription, managing a chronic condition, or looking for quick guidance on a minor health concern, the pharmacy team here is set up to help with a wide range of everyday health needs.

One of the more useful things about this location is how much you can actually address in a single visit. The pharmacists can administer vaccines including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessment for travel. If you are planning a trip abroad, a travel consultation here can help you figure out which vaccines or medications you may need before you go.

Beyond immunizations, the pharmacy offers a number of health screenings and minor ailment services. Blood pressure testing, A1C testing for blood sugar monitoring, cholesterol and lipid checkups, and strep throat testing are all available. For common conditions that do not always require a doctor visit, the team can help with things like urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast infections, cold sores, pink eye, skin rashes, and more. Say you wake up with what feels like a UTI on a Sunday morning and your family doctor is not available. This kind of location can be a practical first stop for assessment and treatment.

Medications and prescription services remain at the core of what the pharmacy does. Patients can also access support for quitting smoking, contraception counselling, the morning after pill, and management of ongoing concerns like reflux, heartburn, sleep difficulties, and erectile dysfunction.

The M5S postal area is well served by transit, making this location easy to reach for students, residents, and anyone working nearby. It is an operational pharmacy that covers a genuinely broad spectrum of health services, which makes it a convenient option for everyday care without needing to book far in advance.

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.

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.
