Get an online antibiotics prescription in Ottawa, Ontario.

Yes. Using Your Doctors Online, you can consult an Ontario-licensed physician remotely. If the doctor confirms a bacterial infection, they send an electronic prescription to any Ottawa pharmacy. 

Common infections in Ottawa are the same as those across Ontario. Upper respiratory tract infections (sinus infections, strep throat, etc.) are the leading cause of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions (about 18.9% in older adults), followed by UTIs (~6.2%), skin and soft-tissue infections (~4.3%). Ottawa Public Health also notes that seasonal surges can drive up antibiotic prescriptions. 

You can video chat using your smartphone, and if medically appropriate, our online doctors can send an antibiotic prescription to any nearby pharmacy in towns like Arnprior or Renfrew. If no 24-hour pharmacy is open, you can pick up the medication the next morning or arrange delivery through participating stores. If you have any questions, our team is happy to help at support@yourdoctors.online. 

Yes. Under Ontario law, online antibiotic prescriptions are allowed in Ottawa and must meet the same professional standards as any prescription. Ontario’s regulatory college (CPSO) requires that virtual care meet the same guidelines as in-person care, including proper patient assessment, informed consent, and documentation. Your Doctors Online is a PIPEDA-compliant telehealth platform that ensures authenticity and safety at every consultation step.

Most Ottawa pharmacies accept digital or faxed prescriptions from licensed virtual physicians associated with an authentic telemedicine platform. Antibiotic prescriptions are transmitted directly to registered pharmacies and contain:

• Doctor’s name, signatures, and license number
• Name of medication and quantity, along with refill information
• The company’s contact information for verification purposes

Medications will only be dispensed upon patient verification through a call or application. 

Our doctors provide proper instructions to promote appropriate antibiotic use and combat resistance. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and skin rash. Severe allergic reactions are rare but possible. Always take antibiotics as prescribed and contact a healthcare provider if you experience severe side effects.

No. Our flat service fee is the same for all users regardless of insurance status. Unlike other telehealth platforms, we provide a family subscription plan that can be paid on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Medications can be paid out of pocket or through any private or public drug plan you have.
