Science matters

The SOGC has issued a position statement reaffirming that acetaminophen remains a safe and appropriate first-line option for managing fever and pain during pregnancy when medically needed.

Despite claims suggesting a link between prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and certain neurodevelopmental disorders, the SOGC notes that the evidence for these claims is weak and has been consistently refuted by scientific and regulatory bodies.
In an age of growing misinformation, the SOGC urges Canadians to rely on evidence-based science and clinical expertise.

This summer, we’re proud to once again be part of the Summer Employment Transition Program through Community Living Sarnia-Lambton by welcoming Lakota and her job coach Kharis to our pharmacy. It’s such a privilege to support inclusive opportunities and help students gain real-world experience as they work toward their future goals.

As Lakota enters her final full week as a student with us, we invite you to stop and say hello to her and Kharis if you see them in the store! 👋

We’ve been alerted to a concerning situation: someone has been targeting our elderly patients by impersonating a Northgate Pharmacy delivery driver and asking to access their medications.

⚠️ While it’s true that our team may occasionally pick up medications to make necessary changes, please be assured that a pharmacy staff member will always contact the patient or their caregiver directly beforehand to explain the reason and schedule the pickup.

If someone shows up at your door claiming to be from Northgate Pharmacy and you weren’t expecting them:
🛑 Do not give them your medications
📞 Call us immediately at (519) 344-8222 to verify
🚔 If you feel unsafe, contact 911

Please help us spread the word—especially to seniors or vulnerable individuals in your life. We’re working to investigate the situation, and your safety remains our highest priority.

We’re feeling the love here at Northgate Pharmacy! 💙

Yesterday, we were surprised with these beautiful hand-drawn thank you notes, sweet-smelling gifts, and Tim Hortons gift cards from a grateful family. All because we stayed a little late one Saturday to make sure their sick child received the medication they needed.

It wasn’t even a question, when you’re our patient we treat you like our family. We stayed to make sure this child got the best therapy, just as we would do for our own.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Thank you for the kindness and for making our day. We really do have the best community. 💐☕💌

☀️ We’re thrilled to welcome students Mary and Karman to Northgate Pharmacy this summer!

Mary is a Sarnia native currently working on her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. She’s joined us for the month of June to learn more about pharmacy and gain some hands-on experience in the field.

Karman is a student at Lambton College pursuing her designation as a Registered Pharmacy Technician. She’s completing her community pharmacy placement with us as part of her studies.

Be sure to say hello when you see them around the pharmacy—they’re a wonderful addition to the Northgate team! 😎

June is Men’s Health Month, which includes a focus on men’s mental health. This is a time to shine a light on the challenges men face, often in silence.

💬 1 in 2 Canadian men are at risk of social isolation
⚠️ Over 50% report high levels of stress
🧠 Nearly 1 in 4 are at risk for moderate-to-severe depression
Yet, 2 out of 3 men aren’t seeking professional support.

It’s time to change that. Let’s talk about the tough stuff. Please check in on the men in your life. If you’re struggling, know that help is out there.

💙 Speaking up is strong. Getting support is smart. You’re not alone.
