It’s totally understandable to feel a little skeptical about getting a prescription medication online.
You want to feel confident that you’re putting your trust — and health — in reliable hands. Especially when it comes to getting meds off the internet, there are a lot of unsafe drug offerings on the digital black market.
In a single week of 2016, Health Canada seized $2.5 million worth of counterfeit prescription medication at the border, 98% of it claiming to treat sexual health conditions.
That’s where Felix comes in. At Felix, your online visit is evaluated and reviewed by licensed Canadian practitioners and prescriptions are filled and shipped by our accredited Canadian pharmacy partner.
We also want to ensure all our patients feel safe, so we went the extra mile and received a LegitScript Certification — a recognized sign of credibility and compliance for telemedicine providers and healthcare merchants.
What does a LegitScript certification mean?
LegitScript Certification is a symbol of trust, which is recognized or required by many leading companies around the world. Gaining this certification is a rigorous process to ensure that telemedicine providers, like Felix, comply with all applicable laws.
LegitScript will also only work with companies for which patient care is carefully considered. At Felix, nothing is more important than ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of care.
We’re continuously examining the way that we operate, to provide the safest experience for our patients.
What Medications Does Felix Use?
All of the medications that are prescribed and delivered through Felix’s online Pharmacy are monitored and regulated by Health Canada.
These are the same medications that would be provided with prescription through your family healthcare pracitioner or from a medical clinic. Felix never prescribes or recommends using unregulated medications.
The types of medications available to us depend on what is currently available (in stock), as well as which medications have been authorized for sale by Health Canada. If Health Canada has not approved it for use, Felix will not prescribe/stock the medication.
You should never use medications that you haven’t been assessed and approved for use by a licensed healthcare practitioner. Using untested or unregulated medications can be dangerous, and may lead to unexpected, negative side effects.
Who are the practitioners that prescribe medication through Felix?
All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners— the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or walk-in clinic.
Our doctors and medical advisors also work to ensure that our medical assessments are thorough, safe, personalized, and on-par with the best that in-person care can offer.
Each question that you answer is carefully reviewed by our practitioners and a decision is made based on these responses and your medical profile, so that a treatment plan is only approved if medically safe and appropriate.
We trust our medical team to live by our value of always putting your health first. You can also see some of their friendly faces and learn more about them on our site.
