Your Pharmasave pharmacist can help you with minor health issues that require timely treatment. Generally, these minor health issues are conditions that are less serious, but are quite common and bothersome.

Most often these conditions can be treated on your own with the support of a pharmacist and may not require a visit to a doctor for treatment. For some minor health issues, your Pharmasave pharmacist can assess your symptoms and, if needed, prescribe a prescription treatment if there are no suitable over-the-counter options for you.
