About Similkameen Pharmacy
Two pharmacies operating at once is not something every village of fifteen hundred people can support, and Similkameen Pharmacy holds its own address at 633 7th Avenue, a short walk from the rest of the shops along the same street. The store describes its focus as being centered on health rather than simply a counter for filling prescriptions, and the range of services on offer backs that up.
Beyond ordinary prescriptions, the pharmacy compounds medications to a specific dose or form when a standard product will not do, and it fits home health equipment such as compression stockings, braces and prostheses, work that normally needs a trained fitter rather than just a clerk behind a counter. Staff include pharmacists, technicians, nurses and certified fitters, and the store also runs blister style compliance packaging for anyone managing several medications at once, seasonal flu and immunization clinics, and support for smoking cessation and opioid agonist treatment.
Reach the pharmacy at 250-499-5086, or start at similkameenpharmacy.ca, which also describes booking a phone appointment with a doctor through the store for things that do not need an in person visit. Hours run weekdays nine to five and Saturday mornings into early afternoon, closed Sundays and holidays. Anyone new to the valley and settling on a regular pharmacy should ask what can be transferred over the phone and what needs an original prescription in hand.
