DRUG DISPENSING REQUIREMENT POLICIES

General

You must have a valid prescription from a physician licensed to practice medicine and prescribe medications in the province or territory where you live.  Please note that only your doctor can fax a prescription to Pharmacy24; pharmacy regulations stipulate that a pharmacy can accept a faxed prescription only from a physician’s office.

Pharmacy24 accepts prescriptions transferred from your old pharmacy. If you provide us with the name and contact information of your old pharmacy, as well as the names of the medications you filled there, we will coordinate the transfer for you.

Pharmacy24 also accepts prescriptions sent to our office by mail. To save time, you can use the Site 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 Pharmacy24, and we will update your file.

Pharmacy24 fills prescriptions by the dose in SmartPacks. You can order up to 30 days’ worth of your prescription medication, which can be refilled in 30-day increments until you reach the end of your prescription. Your SmartPacks will also contain 30 days’ worth of any over-the-counter medications you have ordered, like vitamins and supplements. We provide other pharmacy items, like diabetic supplies, in 3 month increments or as needed basis.

Pharmacy24 will not ship any pharmaceutical product to you that does not have Health Canada Approval.

Before any prescription is released for shipping, a Pharmacy24 pharmacist will be in contact with you to discuss your medication for counselling, based on the time you specify in your profile when you sign up. If you have a clinical question, you can privately consult with a pharmacist at any time by calling in, emailing, or using in-app chat feature. If you have clinical questions about your medication, pharmacists are on call from Monday to Friday from 9.00 am to 5:00pm, PST.

Requests for and Transfers of Prescriptions

Upon registering an Account and adding your Payment Method (as described below), you give Pharmacy24 your consent to transfer your prescriptions from your existing pharmacy(s) and/or contact your prescriber(s) regarding your prescriptions.

 

Narcotics Policy

Pharmacy24 does not dispense narcotics, controlled and targeted substances. You should continue to have prescriptions for these medications filled for you at another pharmacy.

 

Returns

As governed by the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act (PODSA) Bylaws : Part I(7): The Pharmacist shall not accept the return for use or re-use of any portion of any drug or non-prescription medication. Pharmacy24 does not accept returned medication, needles, syringes or lancets. Read more about proper disposal under “Medication Disposal.”

 

Generic Substitutions

Like most pharmacies, Pharmacy24 dispenses generic medication when appropriate and permitted by the prescribing doctor. Generic medications are just as safe and effective as brand-name medications. All prescription drugs are reviewed by Health Canada against federal guidelines and as such, the generic drug must include the same amount of medicinal ingredients as branded drugs. Although the non-medicinal ingredients may differ, the generic drug manufacturer must perform studies showing that the non-medicinal ingredients do not change the drug’s safety, quality or effectiveness.

When Pharmacy24 fills your medications, we keep your best interests at heart and look for alternative medications that provide you with the lowest cost without compromising your health. For example, price reductions are often seen through therapeutic substitution which can mean switching one medication for a chemically or therapeutically equivalent drug that can provide the same health benefits.

A chemically equivalent drug is a generic medication made up of the same active chemicals (molecules) as the brand medication counterpart. A therapeutically equivalent drug is a different medication than the original and is not made up of the same active chemicals (molecules) as the original drug. This type of switch requires the approval of you and your doctor. Both chemical and therapeutic equivalents produce the same health results as the higher cost brand alternatives.

For more information on generic drugs, visit the Health Canada website at hc-sc.gc.ca.

 

Refills

If you have refills of your medications at another pharmacy, submit a transfer request of your prescription from the other pharmacy to Pharmacy24. You can submit a transfer request through the Site or by phone.

When your prescription is due for a refill, Pharmacy24 will notify you by phone or Electronic Communication, based on the preference you indicated when you created your Account. When you receive a refill notification, access the Site 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, Pharmacy24 will contact your doctor (when available) to get a new prescription. We will notify you promptly if we run into any issues with renewal.

If you need to refill a prescription early, are planning on travelling or going on vacation, call our office and let us know the dates you will be away at your earliest convenience. Occasionally, you may experience higher costs when requesting an early fill, or vacation supply. However, we will work with your insurance provider to maximize the coverage of your medications – contact our office by phone, email, or through our in-app chat feature and we will go over your options.

 

Safety and Quality

Pharmacy24 advises you to always follow your doctor’s instructions for taking your medication: take the prescribed amount of the medication you should take for the prescribed length of time you should take it. This is the best thing you can do to make sure you get the full benefits from your medication and prevent additional health complications. We understand that some medications may have unpleasant side effects or be difficult to administer, and that is why Pharmacy24 pharmacists are available to offer clinical advice when dealing with these issues.

Pharmacy24 is fully accredited and licensed through its provincial College, Association or Society. Pharmacy24 only dispenses medications that have been approved for sale by Health Canada.

All medication filled by Pharmacy24 is verified by computer and double-checked for accuracy by a licensed pharmacist for guaranteed accuracy. If you package arrives damaged or with any seals broken, let us know the tracking number provided with your package and we will replace it right away.

 

Medication Disposal

It is important to dispose of medication, needles, syringes or lancets correctly. Pharmacy24 does not accept returns of any of these items. If your prescription comes with specific directions for disposal, call our office for assistance from a licensed pharmacist with the instructions. For any other pharmaceutical product you need to dispose, take these items to a local pharmacy, or follow the guidelines set by the Health Products Stewardship Association with regards to The Medications Return Program. To download the information Brochure visit www.healthsteward.ca. In addition, you can access proper medication disposal information from the Government of Canada website – Learn More: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/safe-disposal-prescription-drugs.html

 

Packaging and Child Safety Waiver

A pharmacy is required to dispense medication in a child resistant container unless the patient has signed a waiver or verbally requested a non-safety vial or container or where a child resistant contain is not suitable due to the physical nature of the pharmaceutical.

SMARTPACKS ARE NOT CHILD RESISTANT AND SHOULD BE KEPT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES.  YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING NECESSARY SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE TO KEEP CHILDREN FROM ACCESSING OR TAMPERING WITH YOUR MEDICATIONS STORED IN SMARTPACKS.  BY USING THE SITE AND SERVICES YOU ARE WAIVING THE REQUIREMENT FOR PHARMACY24 TO PACKAGE YOUR PHARMACEUTICALS IN CHILD RESISTANT CONTAINERS FOR ALL NEW PRESCRIPTIONS AND REFILLS ORDERED FROM PHARMACY24 OR THROUGH THE SITE.
