Instant online antibiotic prescriptions available in Waterloo
Waterloo Region is home to over 706,000 people, packed into schools, workplaces, and homes, causing ear, sinus, throat, urinary tract, and skin infections to rise. These conditions require prompt antibiotic treatment to avoid serious complications.
However, residents often struggle to get timely prescriptions as walk-in clinic and ER wait times in Waterloo frequently exceed an hour, and many delay care as a result. That means a simple earache or UTI can lead to hearing loss or kidney disease if treatment is postponed.
Our 24/7 virtual clinic connects you instantly with a licensed doctor in Ontario from your home. You can be assessed promptly, receive an online antibiotic prescription if needed, and pick it up at your local pharmacy in Waterloo, all without the wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to get an antibiotic prescription online?
Yes, it’s legal to get an antibiotic prescription online in Ontario. Our telehealth doctors operate under the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO)’s telemedicine regulations. They have the same authority to prescribe medications via virtual visits as an in-person doctor.
Can I get antibiotics without seeing a doctor in Waterloo?
No, you cannot legally get antibiotics without a prescription in Canada, including Waterloo. Unlike over-the-counter medications, antibiotics must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. This is because not all infections are bacterial, and using the wrong antibiotic can lead to side effects or antibiotic resistance. However, you can skip the office visit by consulting a virtual doctor through our telehealth clinic.
How fast can I get antibiotics online in Waterloo?
It depends on the telemedicine service you are using. With Your Doctors Online, getting an antibiotic prescription within 5 minutes is possible. Here is your quick 3-step guide to get quick antibiotics virtually:
- Register for our telehealth clinic
- Consult a doctor online
- Get your antibiotics
What if my symptoms don’t need antibiotics?
Online doctors only prescribe antibiotics when absolutely necessary. If your symptoms suggest a bacterial infection, you’ll likely meet the eligibility criteria for an antibiotic. However, if your symptoms align more with a viral illness, such as a runny nose, dry cough, or body aches, our doctors will advise rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications instead. If needed, they’ll also recommend an in-person visit.
Who can get online antibiotics in Waterloo?
Anyone with symptoms of a bacterial infection can receive antibiotic treatment online. Some of these symptoms can be:
- Fever
- Chills
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Burning or frequent urination,
- Red, warm, swollen skin
However, if you experience high fever, rapidly spreading swelling or redness, difficulty breathing, confusion, or other severe symptoms, a telehealth doctor will recommend immediate in-person care, such as a visit to the ER.
Can I get a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics without OHIP?
Yes, you can get a prescription for antibiotics without OHIP in Waterloo. Your Doctors Online connects you with licensed physicians in less than 5 minutes, even if you don’t have OHIP coverage. During the consultation, the doctor will assess your symptoms, such as a dental infection, UTI, ear, or skin infection, and, if appropriate, electronically prescribe the antibiotic.
