FAQ

Pickering questions, answered

Can I do this around my GO commute?

Yes. The assessment is online and takes about five minutes, so you can complete it from Bay Ridges or Amberlea at any hour, and a pharmacist follows up, usually within 24 hours. Treatment can be delivered free.

Is this really free for Pickering 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 Pickering 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 Pickering. A prescription is only ever provided when it is appropriate. For any emergency, call 911.
