About

Shoppers Drug Mart on Queen Street is a full-service pharmacy located inside Confederation Court Mall in downtown Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It serves residents across the C1A area and anyone passing through the heart of the city who needs accessible, reliable pharmacy care without a lengthy wait for an appointment.

The pharmacy offers a wide range of health services that go well beyond simply filling prescriptions. Patients can come in for vaccinations including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, shingles, hepatitis A and B, HPV, pneumonia, meningitis, RSV, tetanus, and yellow fever assessments for those planning international travel. If you are heading abroad and need a travel health consultation, this is a practical place to start.

Minor ailment care is another strong part of what this location provides. The pharmacy team can help with common concerns like urinary tract infections, strep throat testing, pink eye, skin rashes, eczema, cold sores, canker sores, and nail fungus. Patients dealing with digestive issues such as reflux, heartburn, or indigestion can also receive guidance here. For someone who wakes up with a UTI on a weekend and wants to avoid a long emergency room visit, being able to walk into a familiar pharmacy and speak with a pharmacist directly can make a real difference.

Preventive health screenings are available too, including blood pressure testing, cholesterol and lipid checkups, glucose and blood sugar testing, and A1C monitoring for those managing or monitoring diabetes. These services support ongoing wellness and help patients stay on top of their health between doctor visits.

Additional support is available for things like quitting smoking, contraception counselling, the morning after pill, acne treatment, sleep concerns, and managing conditions like erectile dysfunction or premenstrual cramps. The range of services here reflects how much a community pharmacy can do for everyday health needs.

Located in a central and walkable part of Charlottetown, this Shoppers Drug Mart is easy to reach whether you live nearby or are visiting the downtown core. It is an operational and well-reviewed location that many Island residents count on for both routine pharmacy needs and more immediate health concerns.
