No. Ozempic Pharmacy provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a prescription to certain medications but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a prescription lifestyle medication safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about the medications you are currently using.
Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We’ve worked with specialist to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.
Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Ozempic Pharmacy is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

They are all licensed, real Canadian healthcare practitioners! All online visits submitted via Ozempic Pharmacy are reviewed by them and they must be licensed in your province to prescribe you the medication. It is these healthcare practitioners, and not Ozempic Pharmacy, who determine whether or not to write you a prescription, as well as the appropriate dosage (where applicable).
You will have the ability to chat with your designated Ozempic Pharmacy practitioner for the entirety of your prescription length. When your prescription is nearing completion, we will email you to submit a checkup visit so one of our prescribers can renew your prescription.
Our matching system is based on availability, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be paired with the same healthcare practitioner at your renewal visit.
Ozempic Pharmacy practitioners are unable to make referrals at this time. We suggest you speak with your family doctor or local walk-in clinic.
