Place to buy Benedryl near Canada Place?

[Straymo]

I've had an allergic reaction to a med and while not dangerous I have a rash I'd like to go away. We're staying at Hampton Inn Richmond and couldn't find anything walking distance last night. What about near the pier? (We'll be taking a cab, but we're hoping not to add extra stops.)

Ask at the front desk - they would be able to suggest a place that is close or they may even have some available for you.

Since it looks like you are there, I would do as goodmud suggested.

I assuming you are looking for a topical Rx?

There is London Drugs probably 10-15 minutes walk from the pier. Just ask for directions.

Thanks. Hotel's only suggestion was Costco. Since we are taking a cab, I might just ask the driver in the way. It's not urgent.

There are many places close to you that sell that medication... shoppers drug mart (on the number 3 road side of Richmond Centre Mall) just off Westminster Hwy...., Superstore, London Drugs... Safeway... all are close to your hotel...short cab ride away at most...

Yikes, really? Sorry about that. Sounds like they didn't really want to help you out. :(

 

Enjoy your cruise - nice day for a sail out under the bridge. :)

I'm going to have to agree with the front desk. Costco is the closest pharmacy in that area. If the hotel market doesn't have the right medicine, it would be a cab ride to Superstore, Shoppers, or London Drugs. Otherwise shuttle ride back to airport's 7-Eleven to see if they carry the basics.

With regards to Canada Place, Rexall is the closest. Shoppers and London Drugs are your next options.

Yes but only if OP has a membership. Otherwise, it's no good for them.

 

Anyway, they have sailed - hope s/he found some relief. :)

Yep.... while the hotels in that location is cheap and close for the airport shuttles. I find the area to be somewhat remote without a vehicle. Especially when it gets dark.

Completely agreed.
