Shoppers Drug Mart review: Pharmacy

I visited the pharmacy on 10835 City Parkway, Unit 101, Surrey BC V3T 0L2 for an antibiotic prescription on Friday, October 13th around 7pm. The pharmacist decided to take her 20 min break after I had already completed the assessment form. Upon her return at 7:30pm, she was completing the assessment, asking if I have a wide range of illnesses using MEDICAL TERMS. I explained I do not understand the terms, and she laughed saying if I don't know the term, I probably don't have it. I did confirm I am anemic and expected her to make note of it.

I have been taking the prescribed antibiotics for 3 days now and for the past 3 days I have felt extremely down. I have even made a therapy session appointment - that is how extreme it got. This morning I couldn't handle it anymore. It was affecting all areas of my life. Then finally I realized the only change in the past few days WAS THE ANTIBIOTICS. I googled symptoms and low and behold, people with ANEMIA have a higher risk of the 'RARE' side effects! Depression, chronic pulmonary reactions, confusion, psychotic reactions, and other side effects affecting CARDIVASCULAR, RESPIRATORY, MUSKULOSKELETAL, DERMATOLOGIC, HEMATOLOGIC, OCULAR, NERVOUS SYSTEM. There is a long list of long term effects as well!

ABSOLUTELY. UNACCEPTABLE. Currently waiting at the ER to be fully assessed.

These pharmacists need MORE ACCOUNTABILITY.
