What Edmonton Patients Can Be Prescribed Online
Edmonton's TelePlusCare virtual physicians prescribe medications across nearly every category of routine outpatient care. Acute prescriptions for UTIs, sinus infections, strep throat, conjunctivitis, and skin infections can typically be issued the same day after a video assessment. Chronic medication renewals — covering everything most Edmontonians take long-term — are handled with a quick medication review. Complex initiations like new antidepressants or new diabetes therapies are done after a more thorough first-visit history.
- Antibiotics for UTI, sinusitis, strep, skin infections
- Blood pressure medications (Ramipril, Amlodipine, Telmisartan)
- Cholesterol statins (Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin)
- Type 2 diabetes — Metformin, Jardiance, Trulicity, Ozempic
- Asthma controllers and inhalers (Symbicort, Advair, Ventolin)

Common Prescription Refills for Edmonton Residents
Edmonton's mix of urban professionals, university students at U of A and MacEwan, families in Sherwood Park-adjacent suburbs, and shift workers at the Edmonton International Airport drives consistent demand for fast prescription renewals.
