Who this may be right for.
Ask first if
- Prescription accuracy issues reported by multiple reviewers — always verify medications against your doctor's instructions at pickup
- Buying injectable medications may require purchasing a full vial rather than a single dose — confirm this upfront when dropping off the prescription
- Drive-through pharmacy is frequently closed; hours posted in-store may not reflect current reality

Questions families actually ask.
Is the pharmacy drive-through reliable at this Rexall location? +
Multiple reviewers note the drive-through is frequently closed, so it is not consistently available. Customers are advised to plan for in-store pickup rather than relying on the drive-through.
Can this Rexall pharmacist prescribe antibiotics for common conditions like UTIs? +
At least one reviewer reported being refused a prescription for a UTI and directed to a walk-in clinic or hospital. Experiences vary by pharmacist and circumstance, so outcomes are not guaranteed.
What should families know about picking up prescriptions for a senior family member? +
Several reviewers recommend verifying the contents of every prescription against the doctor's instructions before leaving the pharmacy, as filling errors have been reported on multiple occasions. It is also worth confirming in advance if a medication needs to be special-ordered.
Does this Rexall carry basic grocery items and over-the-counter products? +
Yes, reviewers note the store carries some grocery staples such as milk, as well as a range of over-the-counter medications and personal care products. Staff have been noted as helpful in locating products in the store.
Was there a pharmacist who was especially well-regarded at this location? +
Several reviews specifically praise a pharmacist named Margaret for personalized, attentive care and going above and beyond for patients, though recent reviews suggest the overall pharmacy team experience has become more inconsistent.
