What you need to prepare for your consultation

To optimize your consultation and facilitate the renewal of your prescription, please prepare the following items.

Your current or expired prescription

Have your existing prescription handy, including the medication name, dosage, and instructions. If you no longer have it, the medication name and your usual pharmacy are sufficient.

Your current medication list

Including over-the-counter medications, supplements, and vitamins. Some drug interactions are important to evaluate.

Your recent test results

If you are taking medications that require biological monitoring (statins, antidiabetics, antihypertensives), have your latest results readily available.

Your pharmacy's name

So that the prescription can be transmitted directly without further delay.

Non-renewable prescriptions via telemedicine:

Certain medications cannot be prescribed or refilled via telemedicine without a prior in-person assessment: narcotics, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other controlled substances, as well as certain medications requiring a mandatory physical examination. Our physicians will refer you to the appropriate resources if your situation requires it.
