Renewing Your Prescription Online

It’s very easy to get a prescription renewal. Just speak with one of our health care providers. They will determine your needs with you and can re-prescribe your medications. Everything will be sent to the pharmacy in a few minutes.

This is a great question. The answer is: no.

A large number of medications cannot be renewed this way, since they require regular follow-up with a family doctor, whereas other medications are prescribed by specialists instead. A third category includes controlled substances, for which the Collège des Médecins du Québec has prohibited their online prescriptions (Opioids, Benzodiazepines, ADHD medications, etc). These categories of medications cannot be renewed virtually, and it would take too long to name them exhaustively.

First, let’s clarify that we don’t prescribe any narcotics or controlled substances such as those appearing on this nearly comprehensive government list. Generally speaking, medications for the following conditions can be re-prescribed virtually: diabetes, cholesterol, asthma, hypertension, thyroid conditions, oral contraception, birth control, gastroesophageal reflux, anxiety, depression, erectile dysfunction, herpes cold sores, acne creams, and certain infections in certain contexts only.

Most pharmacies offer to deliver your medications to your home. However, if yours does not offer this service, we can send the prescription to a virtual pharmacy of your choice that will deliver them to you quickly.

Your health is our priority, and we do everything we can to facilitate your treatment.

Absolutely! We take the security and confidentiality of your personal information very seriously. Our online consultations are secure, and your medical history and pharmacy record are protected, since they are contained within government software. You can therefore use our online prescription renewal service in total confidence.

The payment for your online prescription renewal is made directly on our site. We accept several payment methods to allow you to choose the one that suits you the best. Your complete prescription will then be forwarded directly to the pharmacy of your choice.

Of course! At Medecindefamille.ca, we know how important it is to take care of each and every member of your family. We therefore make it easier for you to renew prescriptions for your loved ones.

Whether it’s for your children, your aging parents, another family member or someone visiting you from abroad our health professionals are ready to assist you. Our online prescription renewal service offers you the ability to effectively manage the health needs of your entire family, whether they are Canadian citizens or not.

Getting your prescription renewed online depends on several factors, including the complexity of your request and the response time of our doctors. However, our goal is to provide you with a fast service. Patients often receive their new prescription in just less than 60 minutes. However sometimes it can take the pharmacy a few hours to prepare the medication!

If you have an old prescription, we also offer a prescription renewal service, available 12 hours a day. Simply fill out an online prescription refill request form, and the doctor you consult will take care of the rest.

If you lost your last prescription, our online prescription renewal service can also assist you. Our doctors will examine your request and may write a new prescription for your treatment, if necessary.

In Canada, the practice of pharmacy allows pharmacist owners and their pharmacy staff to renew prescriptions under certain conditions. This is particularly relevant for patients who are on regular medication and need a continuous supply. Pharmacists have the authority to renew or extend a prescription if they deem it safe and necessary for the patient’s health. This process usually involves a review of the patient’s medication history and possibly a consultation to ensure the ongoing suitability of the medication.

However, there are limitations to this service. While some pharmacies offer automatic renewals for certain medications, this is not universally available for all types of prescriptions. The ability to renew a prescription depends on the specific medication, the patient’s medical history, and provincial regulations governing pharmacy services.

If your pharmacists cannot renew your medication anymore, consulting one of our doctors online could give you access again to those prescriptions.

Opting for Medecindefamille.ca for renewing your prescription offers several advantages over traditional pharmacy renewals. Firstly, our service provides a comprehensive medical review by Canadian-licensed doctors, ensuring that your medication is still the best fit for your current health condition. This is especially important for those with complex medical histories or those on multiple medications.

Secondly, our virtual platform allows for convenient and prompt renewals, eliminating the need for physical visits to a clinic, which can be time-consuming and challenging for some patients.

Lastly, Medecindefamille.ca ensures that your prescription renewal is not just a repeat of medication but a part of an ongoing, holistic approach to your healthcare, considering any changes in your health status or new medical insights. This proactive approach to healthcare, blending convenience with quality medical advice, is what sets Medecindefamille.ca apart in managing your prescription needs.
