Sore throats can be caused by both viruses and bacterial infection. Strep throat is an infection in the throat and tonsils caused by bacteria called group A Streptococcus (group A strep) which is contagious. A rapid pharmacy strep test checks for strep throat in patients experiencing symptoms such as pain with swallowing, swollen tonsils, or white patches on tonsils.

 

How a Pharmacy Strep Test Works:

• A Rexall Pharmacist will first assess if a strep test is appropriate based on your signs and symptoms.
• If yes, a Rexall Pharmacist will swab the throat and run a test on the swab.
• Results will be available within 10 minutes.
• The pharmacist will review your results and provide guidance.

 

If negative, the pharmacist will provide non-antibiotic treatment options for symptom management.

 

If positive, the pharmacist will assist you with getting antibiotic treatment to decrease symptoms and duration of infection.
