Central Drugs

Central Drugs Central Drugs has been operating since 1892. We currently have seven locations in the Nanaimo area, all locally owned and operated by pharmacists.

Having been Nanaimo's homegrown pharmacy for the past 125 years, we're extremely proud of the legacy that we've established. We're even more proud about our mission today - creating healthy relationships one patient at a time. Using our Pharmacy First approach, we chose to operate Central Drugs with you in mind.

Mother’s Day can hold many different emotions 💗

For some, it is a joyful celebration. For others, it may be a day of remembering, missing someone, navigating loss, or celebrating in a different way.

Today, we are thinking of all the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and those carrying love and memories in their hearts.

Wishing everyone a gentle and meaningful Mother’s Day.
