LalliCare Pharmacy believes that your optimal health care rests in an active partnership between you, your doctor, and pharmacist. You are the most critical person in this partnership – your knowledge, active participation in your health care through self-care, and self-awareness are critical factors in you enjoying the healthiest possible life.
LalliCare Pharmacies are locally owned and operated. Our clients tell us that we’re different because we don’t have any “white coat” thinking in our pharmacy. We don’t use slick gimmicks to win you over – just friendly, knowledgeable service whenever you need us.
When you walk in, you’ll find our Pharmacists at the front counter to greet you and invite you to sit down for a conversation.
Medications have serious, harmful effects on the environment. Safe drug disposal means reducing the hazards of unused medications in your home, as well as keeping our environment healthy.
LalliCare Pharmacy is proud to participate in the BC Medications Return Program. Follow the directions below and bring us your old and expired medications rather than throwing them in the garbage, flushing them down the toilet, or leaving them in a cupboard where small children could access them accidentally.
The human body is a complex system – adding prescription and non-prescription drugs to our bodies has an intended impact and sometimes can have an unintended impact. The chance of this grows with the addition of vitamins, supplements and herbal supplements.
LalliCare Pharmacy offers a fee-based Medication Review service during which we discuss your current medications and the pharmacist makes recommendations.
THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS FROM A MEDICATION REVIEW INCLUDING:
It’s all to easy for our free time to become consumed with endless errands, chasing empty parking stalls and avoiding parking tickets.
LalliCare Pharmacy has free, onsite parking at our 1139 Yates Street Road location to take the worry out of circling the block looking for parking and playing beat the clock with your parking meter.
We have something even better though and that is free prescription delivery throughout Greater Victoria.

A group of activists and trainers in the U.K. is working on training A&E (emergency room) personnel on ways to make what is often the self-injurer's first contact with the medical system a productive encounter. This effort is spearheaded by nurses, former self-injurers, therapists, and others. Similar efforts in the US, Canada, and Australia would be worthwhile.
