Pharmacy Plus PEI is celebrating more than 200,000 assessments for many common ailments and conditions or to renew eligible prescriptions since the launch of the program two and a half years ago. The Pharmacy Plus PEI program supports Islanders through 49 participating pharmacies in 16 communities across the province.
Prescription renewals have been the most common reason for pharmacist assessments since the program began.
Recently, in partnership with the Government of Canada, the province also launched the National Pharmacare Program. Now, pharmacists can prescribe contraceptive pills, vaginal rings, contraceptive patches, and contraceptive injections at no cost.
The Pharmacy Plus PEI program began as a pilot project in October 2022 and is now permanent.
