No family doctor
Need to renew an existing prescription?
You can request an assessment even if you do not have a family doctor. A licensed nurse practitioner reviews your treatment, history, and safety factors before deciding whether a remote renewal is appropriate.
What to have ready
- The medication name, dose, and how often you take it
- A photo of the label or a copy of your current prescription
- Your pharmacy name and fax number
- Your medication list, allergies, and recent health changes
Often suitable for virtual care
- A non-controlled medication you already use
- A stable condition with an established treatment plan
- The information needed can be confirmed remotely
A different care path may be safer
- A significant new symptom or rapid change
- A controlled medication or required physical assessment
- Not enough records to confirm the current treatment
The decision remains clinical
A request is not a guarantee of a prescription. If a remote renewal is not safe, the clinician explains the appropriate next step.

Questions
Common questions about Prescription Renewal
Choose prescription renewal when you already take the medication and have an active or recently expired prescription. Choose a general medical consultation for a new symptom, a new treatment discussion, or a medication you have not previously been prescribed.
The clinician assessment is CAD $150 and tax-exempt. Medication costs are separate and are charged by your pharmacy. Payment covers the assessment, not a guaranteed prescription.
Have the medication name, dose, pharmacy details, a photo of the label or current prescription, and any relevant records ready. Complete information helps the clinician assess whether virtual renewal is appropriate.
No. Many established non-controlled medications may be assessed online, but some medications and situations need records, closer monitoring, or in-person care. The clinician decides what is safe and appropriate.
If the clinician approves a prescription, MedVibe can arrange a secure outbound transmission to the pharmacy information you provide. Transmission does not confirm pharmacy receipt or processing, and approval is never guaranteed before the assessment.
No. Every request is reviewed by a licensed clinician who makes the final determination based on clinical appropriateness. MedVibe does not guarantee approval of any prescription.
