Transferring your prescription to Peel Best Pharmacy is simple and we handle everything for you. In Ontario, pharmacies can transfer prescriptions between each other directly — you do not need to go back to your doctor. To switch, simply call us at (905) 712-0003 with the name of your current pharmacy and the medications you want transferred. We contact your old pharmacy, request the transfer, and fill your prescriptions — often same day. If you are switching from a chain pharmacy (Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, etc.) we handle the transfer for you completely. As an independent pharmacy, we offer personalized service, free delivery, blister packaging, and minor ailment prescribing that chain pharmacies often do not provide.
