🤧 Allergy Season Packing a Punch This Year?

We've already had many patients tell us their allergies are worse than usual this season.

Sneezing? Runny nose? Itchy, watery eyes?

💊 Our pharmacists can recommend the right over-the-counter allergy products.

🩺 Through Ontario's Minor Ailment Program, we can also assess and prescribe prescription allergy medications, including nasal sprays and allergy eye drops when appropriate.

Don't suffer through allergy season — stop in and see us!

👀 BIG medication news...

"Generic Ozempic coming soon?"
What patients should know 👀

You’ve likely heard of Ozempic® — one of the most talked-about medications in recent years. Did you know a generic version of Ozempic (semaglutide) may soon be arriving in Canada?

This could potentially improve affordability and access for many patients. There are still more details to come, including timing and coverage, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on it and keeping our community informed.

Questions? Feel free to reach out to our team at Drayton Pharmacy 💊

Coming soon to a pharmacy near you👀

The Ontario government announced today that pharmacists will be allowed to administer additional publicly funded vaccines that protect against six diseases and assess and prescribe for a further nine common ailments.

Beginning in July 2026, pharmacists across the province will be able to administer six additional publicly funded vaccines, including:
- Tetanus
- Pertussis
- Diphtheria
- Pneumococcal
- RSV
- Shingles vaccines

Also beginning in July, pharmacists will be able to treat the following ailments:
- Calluses and corns
- Dandruff
- Dry eye
- Head lice
- Jock itch
- Mild headache
- Nasal congestion
- Ringworm
- Warts

"The Ontario Pharmacists Association welcomes the Ontario government’s ongoing efforts to expand the scope of practice for pharmacy professionals. Building on the strong foundation of community pharmacy, these changes will enable pharmacists to treat more minor ailments and deliver a broader range of routine vaccines—making it easier for patients to access care close to home. Pharmacy professionals remain one of the most accessible points of care, and this expansion is a practical step forward. We look forward to continuing to work with the province to improve access to care for Ontarians."
- Justin J. Bates, ICD.D
Chief Executive Officer, Ontario Pharmacists Association
