At MedExpress, we're passionate about making prescription medications accessible to our customers. We believe you should be able to access the treatments you need without waiting weeks for a family doctors appointment or in a long pharmacy queue.
Through our quick and easy digital consultation process, we'll collect the information we need for our licensed clinical team to make a judgement on if a treatment is safe and effective for you. If so, we'll deliver it directly to your door. No waiting times, no queues, just clinically-led treatment to help our customers reach their goals.
You'll need to be over 18, and living in either Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, or Saskatchewan. Unfortunately we won't be able to deliver treatments to any other provinces.
No. We specialize in providing quick and hassle-free access to certain prescription treatments, but we'll never replace your family doctor.
Yes. When you use our service, your medical data and order history is completely confidential and stored securely. You can read more about how we keep your data safe in our privacy policy.
First, complete our quick online consultation. If you're suitable, we'll recommend some treatments for you to choose from.
After selecting your preferred treatment from these options and checking out, one of our clinicians will review your order to confirm the treatment is safe for you.
Once they've approved your prescription, we'll deliver it quickly and discreetly to your door.
You don't need an existing prescription to order with MedExpress. Our clinicians will issue a prescription if they agree that the treatment you want is suitable for you.
Our quick and easy digital consultation is designed to make sure our clinicians have all the information they need to make a decision, and to save you time visiting a pharmacy or family doctor in person.

Our partner pharmacy aims to ship within 1 to 3 working days across Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Some treatments, such as weight loss medication, may require additional safety checks prior to authorization.

To dispatch your order, our clinicians first need to approve and issue a prescription. If done by 3pm EST Monday to Thursday, we can dispatch your medication on the same day. Anything approved after that will be dispatched the following Monday.
When you can reorder depends on which recommended treatment you have chosen.
