About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Queen Street West offers a wide range of pharmacy and health services to residents across Toronto's west end, including the Roncesvalles and Parkdale neighbourhoods. Located at 1473 Queen Street West, this location is a practical stop for everyday health needs as well as more specific clinical care.

The pharmacy team here handles far more than prescription dispensing and medication refills. Patients can access minor ailment care for conditions like urinary tract infections, skin rashes, eczema, cold sores, pink eye, and strep throat, often without needing a separate doctor's appointment. This makes it a convenient option for people managing common health concerns on a busy schedule.

Vaccinations are a significant part of what this location offers. Flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles vaccination, RSV, hepatitis A and B, HPV, meningitis, pneumonia, tetanus, and yellow fever assessments are all available. For anyone planning international travel, the pharmacy also provides travel health consultations to help you prepare with the right vaccines and advice before you go.

Routine health screenings are another reason to visit. Blood pressure testing, glucose and blood sugar checks, cholesterol and lipid assessments, and A1C testing for diabetes monitoring can all be done here. These services support ongoing health management for patients who want to stay on top of their numbers between physician visits.

The pharmacy can also assist with reproductive and sexual health needs, including contraception counselling, the morning after pill, and treatment for erectile dysfunction or vaginal yeast infections. Smoking cessation support is available for those looking to quit, and pharmacists can speak with you about sleep concerns, reflux and heartburn, headache management, and morning sickness.

Skin and nail conditions such as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, nail fungus, dandruff, and acne are also addressed here, along with insect bite care and tick bite assessment. Whether you are dealing with something minor or managing a longer-term health condition, the team at this Queen West location is set up to help with a broad scope of patient care needs.

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.
