Front store
Over-the-counter medicines and vitamins in Oshawa
A full aisle of over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements, with a pharmacist close by when you want help choosing. No appointment needed.
Over-the-counter medicines and vitamins
Everyday medicines, with advice when you want it
Our front store carries over-the-counter medicines for everyday needs, including pain and fever relievers, cold and flu products, allergy relief, digestive health, first aid and children's products. You will also find an aisle of vitamins, minerals and supplements. You can shop without an appointment during opening hours.
Over-the-counter does not mean right for everyone. Some products interact with prescription medications or are not suited to certain conditions, ages or pregnancy. The pharmacist is nearby and happy to help you compare options or check a product against the medications you already take. If your symptoms might qualify for a minor ailment assessment, the pharmacist can tell you.
How we can help
Choosing between products
Ask the pharmacist to explain the differences between similar products on the shelf.
Checking for interactions
If you take prescription medications, ask before adding a new product or supplement.
Children's products
Doses for children depend on weight and age. Ask us if you are unsure.

Reading labels and storing medicines
Read the active ingredients on every label. Many cold and flu products contain the same pain reliever, so taking two products together can mean too much of one ingredient. Keep medicines in their original packaging, check expiry dates and store them out of the reach of children. Bring expired medicines to the pharmacy for proper disposal.
For personal care products such as skincare and hair care, see our cosmetics and personal care page. Questions about a product? Call (905) 725-3594.
