Pharmacy Plus PEI expands

Islanders now have access to testing and treatment for strep throat at participating community pharmacies across the province. The Pharmacy Plus PEI program was recently expanded to include strep throat testing and treatment as part of sore throat assessments. Since not all sore throats are strep, a pharmacist will assess symptoms to determine whether testing is required. The Pharmacy Plus PEI program makes it easier for Islanders to get care by offering renewals for eligible prescriptions and treatment for 35 common ailments and conditions at participating community pharmacies across the province. Islanders are encouraged to connect with their local pharmacy to learn how to access the services available through the program.
