Straymo Posted August 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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.)

goodmud Posted August 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Since it looks like you are there, I would do as goodmud suggested. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted August 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) There is London Drugs probably 10-15 minutes walk from the pier. Just ask for directions. Edited August 16, 2015 by Coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straymo Posted August 16, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitegirl Posted August 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted August 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks. Hotel's only suggestion was Costco. 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted August 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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. https://www.google.ca/maps/search/pharmacy/@49.1884974,-123.1164418,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m8!2m7!3m6!1spharmacy!2sHampton+Inn+by+Hilton+Vancouver-Airport%2FRichmond,+8811+Bridgeport+Rd,+Richmond,+BC+V6X+1S1!3s0x548674dfc614c305:0x2e93e0a553f15557!4m2!1d-123.12748!2d49.192302 With regards to Canada Place, Rexall is the closest.

Langley Cruisers Posted August 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm going to have to agree with the front desk. Costco is the closest pharmacy in that area. 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted August 17, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited August 17, 2015 by xlxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
