A Legacy of
Care. A Future of Innovation.

Since 1934, Royal Drugs has been a trusted name in pharmacy services across Canada — built on a foundation of exceptional customer service and personalized care.

Who We Are

From our earliest days, we’ve supported patients, healthcare providers, and communities through our Specialty, Infusion, and Retail Pharmacy services.

Our dedicated team—including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, registered nurses, and experienced support staff—works collaboratively to meet the unique needs of every individual we serve. Whether preparing complex infusion therapies, managing specialty medications, or delivering community-focused retail services, we never lose sight of what matters most: people.

In 2023, Royal Drugs and our sister company, Ontario Medical Supply, was acquired by Capital Health Partners Inc., marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. This has fueled our growth and innovation, with a bold vision to expand our reach and impact across Ontario.

Two years later, Capital Health Partners successfully acquired the Canadian Calea business, a leading provider of home infusion and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) services, from Fresenius Kabi and united Calea’s pharmacy services under the Royal Drugs brand. The acquisition allows us to serve a broader patient population across Canada, expand clinical and logistical capabilities, and drive innovation in home-based care delivery.

Today, with nine pharmacies across Canada and a dynamic, interdisciplinary team, Royal Drugs continues to exceed industry standards—delivering care with integrity, efficiency, and compassion.

Efficient, collaborative, and committed to care.
