Products We Offer
At Medi-Drugs, we carry a wide range of pharmaceutical products to serve the needs of customers in our community, including the ZOSTAVAX® Shingles Vaccine and home nebulizer machines in Edmonton. We also offer food sensitivity testing kits to help you have a fuller understanding of your health.
PARI Vios® Home Nebulizer Machines
A nebulizer changes medication from a liquid into a mist, allowing it to be more easily inhaled into the user's lungs. These machines can be particularly effective in the delivery of asthma medications to infants and small children, or anybody else who has difficulty using an asthma inhaler. We carry PARI Vios® machines to help you maintain your health with ease.

Personal Drug Testing
Did you know that in Alberta alone, lost work hours costs business and industry nearly three billion dollars a year?

The team at Medi-Drugs Pharmacy in Edmonton now includes certified staff for rapid urine and oral fluid testing. We offer personal testing and employer non-DOT workplace testing for Edmonton and the surrounding areas including:
-
Pre-employment

Pharmacogenomic Testing
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how YOUR genes impact YOUR response to medications. Many individuals have gene variations that cause certain medications to have levels that are too high (increased risk of side effects) or too low (no treatment effect) in the body. Through pharmacogenomic testing, your healthcare team can help you decide which medications and what doses are best for you!
Pharmacogenomics testing is especially beneficial for:
-
Individuals with a history of medication intolerance and side effects label
-
Individuals taking multiple medications
-
Individuals who frequently have little or no benefit from the medications they are prescribed
-
Individuals with any of the following conditions:
-
Chronic pain
-
Mental health (anxiety, depression)
-
Cardiovascular disease (hypertension, heart failure)
Medi-Drugs is pleased to offer the RightMed PGx test by Oneome. Oneome is a spin-off from the Mayo Clinic and was ranked among the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the world in 2018. Pharmacogenomic testing requires only a cheek swab (no needles, no blood).

Food Sensitivity Testing
Do you suspect that you or a member of your family may be allergic to a food, herb or spice? We can help you find out with easy options for food allergy testing in Edmonton. With one of our food allergy test kits, you can test for a reaction to over 100 herbs, foods and spices, including for any intolerance to gluten. As with all of our kits, you'll send in your collected sample to our lab partners and once your results have been received a member of our team will get in touch with you to discuss your options.
