Usually, when we think of a pharmacist, we have in mind a professional who takes our doctor's prescription, gives us medication, and explains the dosage, side effects and any other relevant information. Of course, this is an essential part of the pharmacist's job, but did you know that you can consult a pharmacist directly to help you deal with a condition and get the right treatment?
Quick e-consults with pharmacists
Do you have a rash, are you looking for contraception, suffer from frequent nausea or have another health issue? Before going to the doctor, you can consult your usual pharmacist to discuss your condition.
If you do not have access to a pharmacist near you, we have a great solution. With the Bonjour-santé membership, you can quickly book an online consultation with a professional and caring pharmacist from our partner Medzy | Pharmacie Sonia Boutin inc. to discuss your situation. The Medzy pharmacist can assess your condition, provide you with information, prescribe medication if necessary, and advise you on side effects and drug interactions. What's more, Medzy offers free delivery of your medication directly to your home!
