BC Renal Agency Pharmacy

Hogarth’s Pharmacy provides a funded formulary of medications for patients registered with BCPRA. Call us at 250-545-3660 to learn more about the program, and to find out what medications are funded for dialysis and non-dialysis patients. You can also visit the BC Renal Agency website for more patient information.

Prescribing for Minor Ailments

We offer minor ailment prescribing and pharmacist renewals on some medications. Skip the wait at your doctor for minor ailments like UTIs and allergic reactions and visit us at Hogarth’s. If your prescription has run out of renewals and you aren’t able to immediately see your doctor, we may be able to renew your prescription for you. While a visit to our pharmacy does not substitute a check-in with your doctor, it can help bridge the gap while waiting for a prescription renewal appointment.

Blister Pack Medication

Ever wondered if you’ve missed taking your medication? Let’s bring some ease to your life — our pharmacists can dispense your medication into convenient blister packs. This is a great way to help ensure you take the right dose at the right time, leading to the best results from your medication.

Tamper resistant and and more hygienic than traditional packaging containers, our blister packs give you the right assurance that you’re using your medication as prescribed.

Ensure you have the best diabetes management strategy for you. You need the right advice to help you avoid low blood sugars (hypoglycaemia) and manage your medication — we’re here to help educate you on managing your diabetes.  We’re here to help you interpret and improve your blood glucose results and make sure you’re getting the right type and amount of insulin.
