Quick Tips before you check...

• If you can, call us before you purchase the medication or the prescribing doctor has completed the script. That way you can avoid costs if you are prescribed something on the prohibited list, or you can more accurately give us all the information on the label.
• If you already have the medication or supplement, remember to have the bottle or pack with you so we can assist as much as possible.
• Remember that we cannot guarantee any supplements. We can however assist with information about certain supplements that are considered high risk - so always call before taking any supplement. For more information on supplements - click here.
