What is a minor ailment?

Minor ailments are health conditions that can often be managed with minimal treatment and/or self-care strategies. They are usually short-term conditions that do not typically require lab testing and carry a low risk of masking a more serious underlying condition. In most cases, there are no medication or medical history concerns that would suggest a more serious issue, and only minimal or short-term follow-up is required.

Yes. Pharmacists are trained healthcare professionals who can assess symptoms, recommend treatment options, provide advice on symptom management, and help determine if further medical attention is needed.

In many cases, no appointment is necessary. You can often visit your local PharmaChoice pharmacy and speak directly with a pharmacist during regular pharmacy hours. However, booking ahead or calling in advance is highly recommended to help reduce wait times and confirm pharmacist availability.

Some symptoms or health concerns may require assessment by another health-care professional. If your condition is severe, worsening, persistent, or falls outside the scope of minor ailment care, your pharmacist can help guide you to the appropriate next steps.

Pharmacists may be able to help with a variety of everyday health concerns, including allergies, cold sores, headaches and migraines, acid reflux, pink eye, eczema, insect bites, cold and flu symptoms, and more. Availability of services may vary by location.
