Graduated Compression Stockings
Knee-high and thigh-high stockings fitted in-store
Graduated compression stockings improve circulation and reduce swelling. Common pressures are 15–20, 20–30, and 30–40 mmHg. Fitting matters — the wrong size makes them uncomfortable and less helpful.
How the pharmacy helps
We do measured fittings in-store. Many provincial benefits and private plans cover stockings with a prescription, so it is worth bringing one even though over-the-counter purchase is allowed.

Calf and ankle measurements are taken in-store, ideally first thing in the morning before swelling sets in.
No — graduated stockings are for daytime wear. Take them off at bedtime.
About 3–6 months of daily use before the elasticity weakens.
