October is Small Business Month! Since 1999, Centrum Pharmacy has proudly served Orleans as an independent, Canadian-owned pharmacy dedicated to your health and well-being. We offer our clients Complete, Comprehensive, Caring, and Connected Care.

The Indigenous Pharmacy Professionals of Canada has introduced a Truth and Reconciliation Pledge specifically for the pharmacy sector.

As the familiar rhythm of fall settles in—with students back in classrooms and offices fully staffed—we’re also seeing the expected rise in respiratory illnesses: the common cold, the flu, and RSV. However, a crucial piece of the puzzle that is too often being dismissed is COVID-19.

Centrum Pharmacy has long been at the forefront of ensuring Orleans residents have access to timely, high-quality primary care. Now, Ontario’s provincial initiatives are complementing our efforts, creating a Triple Access approach to family medicine: recruitment, retention, and patient connection.

At Centrum Pharmacy, your safety matters. Recent comments by the President of the United States suggesting a link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism have caused understandable concern. However, these claims are not supported by scientific evidence.

At Centrum Pharmacy, we care deeply about the quality of care you receive — and that care depends on having dedicated, full-time pharmacists available to serve our community. Unfortunately, a serious challenge is affecting pharmacies across Ontario and Quebec and beyond: a growing overreliance on replacement (or “locum”) pharmacists — and it’s pushing many pharmacy teams to the breaking point.

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) Are Among the Most Common Medications We See—But Stopping Them Isn’t Always the Right Choice

Today on World Alzheimer’s Day, we recognize the challenges faced by those living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. Early detection and proper management can make a difference.

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, affecting millions of families worldwide. While research into treatments continues, an unexpected group of medications is drawing global attention: GLP-1 receptor agonists, the same drugs that revolutionized diabetes and weight management.

At Centrum Pharmacy, we understand that antidepressant therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you’re struggling with side effects or feel your current medication isn’t working, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to guess your next steps alone either. Our pharmacists are trained in the complexities of antidepressant pharmacotherapy and can work with your doctor to make personalized treatment recommendations that improve outcomes while minimizing trial-and-error.
