We are excited to be able to use our knowledge and training to treat and support our patients with their minor ailment concerns!

Minor ailment assessments will be performed through an appointment based model. Not all minor ailments can be safely managed by a pharmacist even if it falls within these categories. A referral will be made when necessary.

You may have heard recently in the news that pharmacies have been asked by the government to dispense your medications as a monthly supply instead of the usual three months supply. This is a temporary measure to help prevent the possibility of drug shortages as we navigate our way through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Many people have publicly expressed concerns of the increased cost in dispensing fees / co-pays that they will have to pay out-of-pocket.

There have also been concerns of the inconvenience this may cause with regards to increased trips to the pharmacy during a time when we are all trying to isolate to protect each other from Covid-19.

We want to inform our current, and any future patients that although we may be required to provide you with a monthly supply of your medication, that we will only charge you for your deductibles once for the coming 3 months May/June/July. The remaining 2 month supply will be refilled at a later date, at no extra cost (with the exception of any quarterly Trillium deductibles and any applicable yearly deductibles declared by your drug plan). Please ask a dispensary staff member if you would like clarification.

If you come to the pharmacy, there is no need to wait in long line ups, but we do ask that you practice safe social distancing while in the store. For your convenience, we are offering curbside pick-up, as well as free delivery 5 days a week.

Thank you to all our customers for the opportunity to serve you. It has been our pleasure. We take pride in our service, and we are always happy to assist you in any way we can. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call us at 519-823-2500

know that the growing concern around COVID-19 has everyone feeling uneasy, especially as we face more changes to our daily routines and future plans. This is why I am reaching out to you today to let you know that, at IDA South End Pharmacy , we recognize the important role our communities play in the lives of Canadians. The health and well-being of our valued customers, staff and partners are always our priority, and as we navigate the rapidly evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation together, I want to share with you the extra precautions we’re taking

Since last week, we’ve increased the frequency of our already strict cleaning safety procedures in our pharmacy and front store. We’ve also enhanced hand hygiene, cleaning and sanitizing procedures, and reemphasized the importance of our health standards and protocols to all our staff and team members.

We’re reemphasizing cleanliness and hygiene protocols with our staff, including hand-washing surface sanitizing, offering hand sanitizers and wipes at work stations and gathering spots, and encouraging strong hygiene practices among our team members.

As the virus continues to spread in communities across Canada, and with Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer raising the public risk to ‘serious,’ we are seeing the need for increasingly bold action to reduce the transmission.

Now is the time to be safe, be smart, and to take care of yourself, your family, and your friends. We are very hopeful and optimistic that with broad cooperation and prudence, this will pass.

Stay healthy everyone!
