Discreet delivery and monthly check-ins
Your medication ships to your door in plain packaging. Refills follow a quick re-assessment reviewed by your doctor each month.
Who provides your care
Your assessment is reviewed by physicians licensed in your province (CPSBC / CPSO), under the clinical direction of our Clinical Lead.
One monthly subscription
Your monthly price covers your doctor consultation, reviews, refill assessments, and your prescription medication.
What's included
Your medication is dispensed by a licensed Canadian pharmacy and included in your monthly price — never marked up by youRx.
Delivery is free in most of Metro Vancouver and the Greater Toronto Area. Elsewhere, a delivery fee may apply depending on your postal code. You'll see it before you pay.
Frequently asked questions
We currently serve patients in British Columbia and Ontario. Join the waitlist to be notified when we launch in your province.
Most patients receive a doctor's decision within 24 hours of submitting their form, and most orders arrive within 2–4 days. This applies to subscription treatments; for one-time treatments, the patient prints the prescription and fills it at a pharmacy of their choice.
No. youRx is fully asynchronous — you complete a health form, a licensed doctor reviews it on their schedule, and your prescription is sent directly to a pharmacy. This applies to subscription treatments; for one-time treatments, the patient prints the prescription and fills it at a pharmacy of their choice. No video call or in-person visit required.
youRx is private pay — you pay the listed price directly, and we do not bill insurers on your behalf. However, many extended benefit plans reimburse prescription weight-loss medications. Keep your receipt and prescription summary, and submit them to your plan for reimbursement after purchase.
On the monthly weight-loss plan, you'll receive a reminder before your supply runs out. Refills only require a short re-assessment form — no need to start over. Your refill assessment, doctor review, and medication are covered by that month's subscription fee — never billed as a separate extra. Flu treatment is one-time, so it has no refills.
Prescription weight-loss medications are typically started at a lower dose and adjusted over time. Your prescribing doctor will include a personalized schedule with your prescription and adjust it at your check-ins.
Side effects vary by medication and by person. Your doctor will review possible side effects and your individual risk profile before prescribing. On the monthly weight-loss plan, your doctor also monitors how you're doing at each check-in.
Everyone responds differently. On the monthly weight-loss plan, your doctor reviews your progress at regular check-ins and adjusts your treatment plan as needed, so you always have a clear picture of how things are going. Flu treatment is one-time, with no check-ins.
That's a decision you and your doctor make together. On the monthly weight-loss plan, your doctor reviews your progress at each refill to confirm the treatment continues to be right for you. Flu treatment is one-time, for a single illness, so it is not a long-term treatment.
youRx is an online telehealth platform — not a pharmacy. Prescriptions are filled and shipped by licensed Canadian partner pharmacies. This applies to subscription treatments; for one-time treatments, the patient prints the prescription and fills it at a pharmacy of their choice.
Yes. If you'd rather use a pharmacy of your own choosing instead of one of our partner pharmacies, email support@yourx.ca with that pharmacy's name and location and we'll route your prescription there — this option is always free, with no extra charge. Note that the delivery speed and free-shipping arrangements we offer through our partner pharmacies are specific to those partners, so timelines and any shipping costs at your chosen pharmacy may differ. This applies to subscription treatments; for one-time treatments, the patient prints the prescription and fills it at a pharmacy of their choice.
No. If a manufacturer savings card applies to your weight-loss medication, the price you see at checkout already includes it — our partner pharmacy applies for and uses it for you when filling your prescription. You don't need to apply for one or send us your own card. Flu prescriptions are filled at the pharmacy you choose, not by our partner pharmacy, so we don't apply a savings card for you.
Yes. We offer several prescription weight-loss medication options. They differ in how they're taken, how often, and their possible side effects. After you complete the weight-loss health questionnaire, you'll see a detailed description of each option, and your doctor then confirms which one is right for you.
