General
You must have a valid prescription from a physician or other healthcare professional licensed to practice and prescribe medications in Canada. Please note that only your doctor or healthcare professional can fax a prescription to the Pharmacy according to the regulations established by the applicable provincial College of Pharmacy.
The Pharmacy accepts prescriptions transferred from your old pharmacy.

To save time, you can use the Platform to take a picture of your prescription and submit it directly to us. We will send you a prepaid, priority envelope to mail us your prescription, since we cannot ship your medication without a physical copy of your prescription. We use the picture to sort and package your medication ahead of time so your medication is ready to ship as soon as we receive your prescription in the mail. If your prescription changes, have your doctor fax it directly to the Pharmacy, and we will update your file.
Before any prescription is released for shipping, a pharmacist will be in contact with you to discuss your medication for counselling. If you have a clinical question, you can privately consult with a pharmacist by calling the Pharmacy during the posted hours of operation.

When you receive a refill notification, access the Platform and you will be shown how much medication you have left on your prescription and be given the option to refill your prescription, which will be shipped to you directly. When you are running out of refills, with your consent, the Pharmacy may contact your doctor or healthcare professional (when available) to get a new prescription. We will notify you promptly if we run into any issues with renewal.
