​  How it works

1. Use the self-assessment guide to check your symptoms:   www.gov.bc.ca/seeapharmacist

2. If your symptoms match one of the minor ailments, or if you want to discuss contraception, either book online  your appointment with our Pharmacist, or call to make an appointment, or visit Mettra Pharmacy as a Walk-in.

3. At Mettra Pharmacy, our Pharmacist will assess your symptoms or discuss your contraception needs with you. We will explain the best options for your care. This could include a prescription, over-the-counter medication, self-care advice, or advice to visit another health care professional for further assessment.
