Pharmacy services in NW Calgary
We are an independent pharmacy in Edgemont, NW Calgary. Most of what people come to us for is on this page. If you are not sure which one you need, phone us and ask for the pharmacist.
An independent pharmacy is not just a smaller chain. The person who fills your prescription is the same person you spoke to last month, and they have time to answer the question you were going to look up later.
That matters most for the things a chain treats as a transaction: a medication that stopped working, a dose that is hard to swallow, a trip in three weeks that needs four vaccines, a parent whose seven prescriptions arrived from three different prescribers.
Your prescriptions
Refills and transfers
Order a refill, or move your prescriptions here from another pharmacy. We do the transfer paperwork, you do not.
Blister packs
Your medications sorted into sealed compartments by day and time, so nobody has to remember what was taken and when.
Compounding
A medication prepared for one patient when the commercial product does not fit. A different strength, a liquid instead of a tablet, a formula without the ingredient you react to.
Free delivery
We drive prescriptions to your door at no charge, anywhere in Calgary. Ask when you order, or add it to a refill by phone.
Medication reviews
A sit-down with the pharmacist to go through everything you take, including the things nobody prescribed. Ask the pharmacy about eligibility, coverage and any cost before arranging a review.
Care you can get without a doctor
Alberta pharmacists can assess and prescribe for a defined list of conditions, and give most vaccines. That is the part of a pharmacy people still do not know about.
Minor ailment prescribing
Urinary tract infections, strep throat, pink eye, cold sores and more. Assessed and prescribed for in one visit.
Vaccinations
Flu, shingles, pneumonia, tetanus, travel vaccines and the routine catch-ups adults forget about.
Travel health
A consultation for your specific trip, and the vaccines to go with it. We are a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
Diabetes support
Meters, supplies, technique, and a pharmacist who will look at the whole medication list rather than one number.
Quitting smoking
A plan, the medication to support it, and follow-up that does not end after the first week.

Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
Not for a prescription, a flu shot, or most vaccines. Book ahead for a travel consultation or a minor ailment assessment so the pharmacist has time set aside for you.
Can you transfer my prescriptions from another pharmacy?
Yes, and it is the easiest thing on this page. Give us the name of your current pharmacy and we contact them. You do not need to collect anything or tell them you are leaving.
Do you take my insurance?
We direct-bill most Alberta drug plans and private insurers, so you pay only the part your plan does not cover. Bring your card the first time.
