About

Shoppers Drug Mart at Peace River Square is a full-service pharmacy located at 9925 78th Street in Peace River, Alberta, serving residents across the T8S area and the surrounding Peace River region. The pharmacy is currently operational and offers a wide range of health services well beyond standard prescription filling.

Patients can access a broad set of clinical and preventive care services directly through the pharmacy. Vaccination services are a significant part of what is available here, including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, hepatitis A and B vaccines, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessment for those planning international travel. This makes it a practical stop for both routine immunizations and travel health consultations.

The pharmacy also supports minor ailment management, which can save patients a trip to a clinic for common concerns. Conditions addressed include strep throat testing, urinary tract infections, pink eye, skin rashes and eczema, nail fungal infections, oral fungal infections, ringworm, cold sores, canker sores, and insect or tick bites. Patients dealing with digestive concerns such as reflux, heartburn, or indigestion can also receive guidance here.

For ongoing health monitoring, the location offers blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar testing, A1C testing for diabetes management, and cholesterol and lipid checkups. These services allow patients to track key health indicators without needing a separate medical appointment.

Additional services cover a practical range of everyday health needs, including acne treatment, allergy support, contraception counseling, the morning after pill, erectile dysfunction, sleep disorder support, quitting smoking programs, headache management, and premenstrual or period cramp relief. Morning sickness guidance is also available for those in early pregnancy.

Peace River is a smaller northern Alberta community, and having accessible pharmacy-based care at a central location like Peace River Square means residents can address many health concerns close to home. Whether you are managing a chronic condition, looking to stay up to date on vaccinations, or dealing with a minor illness, this Shoppers Drug Mart location offers a convenient and practical option for everyday healthcare needs.

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.

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.
