My Pharmacist NB is a fit if…
You're in the right place if you want to renew a medication you already take, you need a straightforward medical note for work or school, or you have a new or worsening symptom that a nurse practitioner can assess and treat within their scope, and you can visit a participating pharmacy in New Brunswick.
