Pharmacy Services
More than prescriptions. Care that fits your day.
From minor-ailment assessments to medication reviews, custom compounding and delivery, Sina Pharmacy helps you take the next step with confidence.
Minor ailments and contraception
A pharmacist can assess eligible concerns such as mild acne, allergies, cold sores, heartburn, selected skin conditions and uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Your visit may result in advice, an appropriate medicine or referral. Pharmacists can also assess contraception needs and prescribe suitable options. IUD or implant insertion requires a clinician who provides that procedure.[1]
Prescription renewals and emergency supplies
Running low on a regular medicine? Speak with us before you run out. A pharmacist may be able to renew or adapt an eligible prescription, or assess whether an emergency supply is appropriate. This depends on your history, the medicine and applicable rules. It does not replace medical follow-up.[1]
Medication reviews and private consultations
Bring questions about what each medicine does, when to take it, side effects, interactions and missed doses. A focused conversation can help organize a current medication list and identify concerns to discuss with your prescriber. PharmaCare-funded reviews require eligibility and a clinical need. Other consultations may have a fee; ask before booking.[2]
Non-prescription medicine advice
Our pharmacists can help compare active ingredients, explain label directions and consider your other medicines and health conditions. Ask before combining cold, pain or allergy products that may contain overlapping ingredients, or changing a prescribed treatment.[1]
Vaccinations and travel-health support
Ask about recommended vaccines, current availability, age requirements and funding. Pharmacists can administer eligible vaccines and selected prescribed injections within their authorization. Travel needs depend on your itinerary and medical history; some services require a separate clinician appointment.[1]
Support to stop smoking
We can discuss cravings, treatment options, a practical quit plan and follow-up. Eligible B.C. residents may receive funded nicotine replacement therapy through the provincial program; prescription-product coverage follows the applicable PharmaCare rules. Ask us to explain your options.[5]
Custom medication compounding
When a standard product is unsuitable, a prescriber and pharmacist may consider an individualized preparation, such as a different strength or dosage form. Sina has an on-site compounding service. Feasibility, ingredients, stability, prescription requirements, price and insurance eligibility are assessed individually.
Blister packaging and medication organization
A pharmacist can assess whether labelled blister packs would help organize eligible medicines by day and time. Some medicines must remain outside the pack. Tell us promptly about prescription changes or hospital visits, and ask what to do if a dose is missed.
Prescription delivery and home-care support
Ask about delivery, including whether your address and medication qualify for free delivery. We will confirm timing and handling requirements. Our home-care medication support can help patients and caregivers coordinate routines, packaging and pharmacy needs, with appropriate patient consent.
Safe medication disposal
Bring eligible unused or expired household medicines to the pharmacy for appropriate disposal. Do not flush medicines down a sink or toilet. Keep sharps separate: ask about an approved sharps container and current return arrangements. Never bring loose needles.[6]
Prescription transfers from anywhere in Canada
With your consent, Sina Pharmacy can contact your current pharmacy anywhere in Canada and arrange the transfer of eligible prescriptions. Give us the pharmacy name and telephone number, and tell us which medicines you want transferred.
We confirm remaining refills, prescription validity and any medication-specific restrictions. A prescription without remaining refills may need a new prescription or a separate assessment for continuity of care. Timing depends on receiving the required information; a transfer does not guarantee immediate dispensing.[4]
