Edmonton Pharmacies Worth Knowing (2026)

Independent and community pharmacies across Edmonton — compounding, delivery, blister packs, and pharmacies attached to walk-in clinics.

Big-box pharmacies are convenient — but community pharmacies get to know you. Same-day fills, medication reviews, compounding, and a pharmacist who remembers what you're taking.

Locally owned pharmacies

Acme Drug Mart — 15508 87 Ave NW Unit 103. West-end independent serving the same neighbourhoods for years. Prescription fills, compounding, immunizations, blister packs, and free local delivery.

Medicine Place Pharmacies operates four community locations across Edmonton, all attached to walk-in clinics:

  • 13514 97 St North — same-day fills, compounding, immunizations, free delivery
  • 4245 118 Ave (Beverly) — pharmacy + walk-in clinic in one visit
  • 5809 118 Ave NW — same setup for northeast Edmonton
  • 10660 105 St NW — downtown transit-accessible location

Services beyond fills

Ask about:

  • Blister packs (compliance packaging) — pre-sorted by day and dose. Life-changing for anyone managing 5+ medications.
  • Medication reviews (annual) — free with your Alberta Health card. A pharmacist walks through everything you're taking to spot conflicts or duplicates.
  • Immunizations — flu, shingles, pneumonia, travel vaccines. No appointment needed at most.
  • Compounding — custom-made medications when off-the-shelf doesn't fit (pediatric doses, allergen-free versions, etc.)

Save on prescriptions

  • Ask if the generic version is available — often 30–70% cheaper.
  • If you have benefits, submit through your provider's app rather than at the counter for faster processing.
  • For chronic meds, ask about 90-day fills — cuts dispensing fees roughly in third.
