Online pharmacist assessments in London
Between Western and Fanshawe students far from their hometown doctor and the thousands of Londoners on primary-care wait lists, a simple cold sore, UTI, or rash too often means a long walk-in queue off Wellington or Oxford. It does not have to: a licensed Ontario pharmacist can assess and prescribe for 28 common conditions - entirely online, usually within 24 hours.
*Free with a valid Ontario health card. Without one, the assessment is a flat $30.
No clinic, no waiting room, no appointment
Serving Downtown, Old North, Wortley Village, Byron, Masonville, White Oaks, Hyde Park and the greater London and Middlesex area - and every other corner of Ontario. Complete a 5-minute questionnaire and a licensed Ontario pharmacist follows up within 24 business hours (our average is about 2 hours). If treatment is appropriate, it can be delivered to your door for free.
London Health Sciences Centre runs some of the region's busiest ERs, and a case of pink eye spreading through a Western residence does not belong in one. Pharmly gives students and families across Middlesex a faster, online route.

London questions, answered
What if my issue turns out to need a doctor?
The questionnaire screens for red flags, and the pharmacist will tell you honestly if your situation needs a physician or urgent care - and point you to the right place in London, such as an LHSC site. A prescription is only ever provided when it is appropriate. For any emergency, call 911.
Is this really free for London residents?
Yes - with a valid Ontario health card the assessment is free, because Ontario pays pharmacies for minor ailment assessments. Without a health card it is a flat $30. If a medication is prescribed you pay the usual price for it, and your drug plan may cover it.
Do I need to visit a pharmacy in person?
No. The whole assessment happens online, and if treatment is prescribed it can be delivered to you anywhere in London at no extra cost - or sent to a pharmacy near you.
I don't have a family doctor. Does that matter?
Not at all - no referral, appointment, or family doctor is needed. Pharmly exists precisely for the millions of Ontarians who don't have easy access to primary care.
What if my condition isn't treatable by a pharmacist?
The questionnaire screens for red flags, and the pharmacist will honestly tell you if your situation needs a doctor or urgent care - and point you to the right place in London. A prescription is only ever provided when it is appropriate. For any emergency, call 911.
