I would like to know if I can go to the pharmacy to get an antiviral if I think I have shingles?

Yes, you can go to a pharmacy to get an antiviral medication for shingles if you suspect you have it. Pharmacists in Quebec are authorized by law to prescribe medication for shingles after evaluating your symptoms and lesions. It is recommended to call your local pharmacy to inquire if a pharmacist is available to conduct this consultation with you.
