About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Rowan Street in St. John's is a full-service pharmacy serving patients in the Churchill Square area and the surrounding downtown Newfoundland community. Whether you need a prescription filled, have a minor health concern to address, or want to stay on top of preventive care, this location offers a wide range of pharmacy and health services under one roof.

The pharmacy team can help with everyday health needs like blood pressure testing, blood sugar monitoring, and cholesterol checkups, making it easier to keep track of your numbers without scheduling a separate clinic visit. If you come in feeling under the weather, the pharmacist can assess and treat common conditions such as urinary tract infections, strep throat, pink eye, cold sores, and skin rashes. For something like a UTI, a pharmacist consultation here can save you a trip to a walk-in clinic and get you started on treatment the same day.

Vaccinations are another core part of what this location offers. Patients can receive flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccinations, and immunizations for hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever. Travel health consultations are also available for those planning trips abroad and needing guidance on recommended vaccines or precautions.

Beyond acute care, the pharmacy supports ongoing health management. Services include help with quitting smoking, managing sleep concerns, addressing reflux and heartburn through diet consultation, and handling reproductive health needs such as contraception and the morning after pill. Skin conditions like acne, eczema, nail fungus, and ringworm can also be assessed and treated here.

Practical visit information is straightforward. The location sits at 8 Rowan Street, A1B 2X1, and is easy to reach for residents across the St. John's area. Bringing your health card and a list of any current medications can help the pharmacist provide the most accurate guidance during your visit. Whether you are managing a chronic condition or dealing with something that came up suddenly, this pharmacy is set up to support a broad range of patient needs in a convenient, accessible setting.

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.
