Ask our pharmacist for an assessment
As of June 1, 2023, community pharmacists across British Columbia were enabled to prescribe for contraception and many minor ailments such as indigestion, cold sores, mild acne, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
This expanded access means British Columbians can visit a local pharmacy to see their pharmacist for an assessment of any one of 21 minor ailments or contraception services (MACS). Upon completing the assessment, if appropriate, pharmacists can write a prescription on location for the needed medications.
How to book an appointment
To book an appointment, the provincial government has set up an online booking tool that will identify the nearest available pharmacies around you. You will need to have your Personal Health Number to make an appointment.
