Navigate to ‘My prescriptions’ section
- After logging in, click on “My prescriptions” to see a list of all prescriptions from associated stores (Shoppers Drug Mart – My Health Dashboard).
- The list includes refill dates, remaining refills, and medication details.
Filters for date range and medication

- This feature helps track multiple prescriptions over time.
Download or print history
- You can download a PDF of your history for personal records or to share with a healthcare provider.
- Printing is also available directly from the dashboard.
The implication: Having digital access to your full prescription history reduces the need for paper receipts and manual tracking. For people managing multiple medications, this is a practical time-saver.
What is the phone number for Shoppers Drug Mart prescription refill?
Not everyone wants to use the web. A phone call to your local pharmacy is a reliable alternative.
Find your local Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy number
- Use the store locator on Shoppers Drug Mart’s Digital Pharmacy page to find your nearest store’s direct line.
- Each pharmacy has its own phone number, so calling the store directly is most efficient.
Call the general customer service line
- The national customer service number is 1-800-746-7737. This can route you to the right store or provide general account help.
- When calling, have your prescription number and personal details ready (Healthline – How to refill a prescription).
Phone refill steps
- Tell the pharmacist which prescription you need refilled and your preferred pickup time.
- If refills remain, they can process it immediately; otherwise they’ll request authorization from your doctor (Healthline – How to refill a prescription).
Phone refills avoid creating an online account, but you’ll still need your prescription number and may face hold times. For quick, straightforward refills with no account setup, the phone is the simplest route. For managing multiple prescriptions or tracking history, the digital portal is more efficient.
Choosing between phone and online refills depends on your preference for speed versus account management.
