About Remedy's Rx
Prescriptions are the errand that will not wait for a convenient afternoon. Remedy's Rx is at 3210 25 Ave in the middle of Vernon and shares its address with two other businesses, which is how professional and medical blocks are usually put together, with several services behind one street number.
Pharmacies do a good deal more than count tablets, and what they take on varies. Transfers from another pharmacy, refills arranged before you run out, blister packs for anyone managing several medications at once, injections where the pharmacist is authorised to give them, and a sit down review of everything you take are all common. Bring your provincial care card and any private insurance details the first time, and be ready to name what you already take, including anything bought over the counter. When a drug is not something a pharmacy keeps on the shelf, ordering it in usually takes a day or two, so ask about timing when you drop the paperwork off rather than when you come back for it.
Vernon carries the health care load for the whole North Okanagan, and people drive in from the townships and farms around the city for appointments and for the counter afterward. That is worth planning around. If you are making the trip from out of town, sort the medication out in the same visit as the appointment rather than driving back for it, and ask how refills can be arranged without another journey. Winters at this end of the valley are colder and the roads longer than farther down, so a little forward planning in November saves a difficult drive in January.
