White Rock Pharmacy

What makes White Rock Pharmacy Different

As an independent pharmacy under the PharmaChoice umbrella in White Rock, BC, we like to get to know our customers, their health concerns and their medical profiles. We have a close relationship with local physicians and work together to ensure that the customer’s health is of primary importance. You will not have to walk a mile in the store or walk through a perfume department to see a pharmacist or pick up your purchases. From our front door to the checkout counter is only 11 feet or 5 paces. Exercise is important when you have the time, but not when you need to just get your medication. There will never be a wait at our checkout when lottery jackpots are up as we do NOT sell lottery tickets.
(We can sell you a White Rock Beach Lucky Coin LOL)

White Rock Pharmacy is a full line drug store, focusing on customer wellness. We provide professional services, products and information on health-related issues. White Rock Pharmacy customers receive drug usage monitoring, medication record cards, prescription medication handouts, counseling and consulting services and professional compounding.
