After a video assessment we issue antibiotics for confirmed bacterial infections, refill chronic medications for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, and thyroid conditions, and prescribe contraception, mental health medications (non-controlled), and short-course treatments for travel and acute illness. Schedule I controlled drugs require an in-person assessment per CPSA Standard 22.

Common Prescription Refills for Calgary Residents
Calgary's young, active, and largely employed population — energy sector professionals downtown, healthcare workers at Foothills and Rockyview, families in Tuscany, Auburn Bay, and Cranston — drives heavy demand for fast prescription renewals. We see daily refill requests for blood pressure medications (especially Telmisartan and Amlodipine), Crestor and Lipitor for cholesterol, Metformin and Jardiance for diabetes, oral contraceptives like Yasmin and Alesse, Symbicort and Ventolin for asthma, and Cipralex, Wellbutrin, and Pristiq for mood. Many Calgarians refill 2–3 medications in a single 15-minute visit.
- Blood pressure refills (Telmisartan, Amlodipine, Ramipril)
- Cholesterol management (Crestor, Lipitor)
- Diabetes medications and GLP-1 agonists
- Birth control pill renewals
- Asthma controller and rescue inhalers
- Antidepressants and anxiolytics (non-controlled)
How Calgary Online Prescriptions Work
TelePlusCare uses a streamlined three-step model. Step 1 — Book online and provide your Alberta PHN, the medications you need, and your preferred Calgary pharmacy. Step 2 — A CPSA-registered family physician connects with you by encrypted video for a 12–18 minute consult; the doctor reviews your medical history, current symptoms, and any relevant labs. Step 3 — Once approved, your physician issues a prescription you can fill at your selected pharmacy, whether it's the Co-op Pharmacy in Mission, the Costco at Heritage, or the Shoppers in Kensington.
- Step 1 — Book online with Alberta PHN
- Step 2 — Video visit with a Calgary-licensed MD (12–18 min)
- Step 3 — Receive your prescription to fill at your Calgary pharmacy
