Quick Answer
TelePlus Care offers current virtual allergy consults across Alberta. A licensed doctor reviews your symptoms and prescribes nasal steroids (Nasonex, Avamys, Flonase), prescription antihistamines (rupatadine, bilastine), montelukast (Singulair), oral steroids for flares, and Epi Pen / Allerject auto-injectors. A licensed doctor reviews the concern and explains the safest next step.
- Roughly 1 in 4 Canadians has at least one seasonal or environmental allergy
- Prescription nasal steroids work better than oral antihistamines for most nasal allergy symptoms
- Epi Pen and Allerject (epinephrine auto-injectors) are routinely renewed virtually
- A licensed doctor reviews virtual consultation requests
- Suspected new food or venom allergy needs in-person allergist work-up; we will refer

Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
Who This Service Is For
Most allergy concerns can be assessed and managed virtually. Book if any of these describe you:
- Seasonal rhinitis — runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes during pollen/ragweed/mould season
- Year-round symptoms from dust mites, pet dander, or indoor mould
- Recurrent hives (urticaria) without a clear trigger
- Epi Pen or Allerject expiring and needs renewal
- Allergic conjunctivitis — itchy red watery eyes
- Mild allergic skin reactions or contact dermatitis flares
- Already on an OTC antihistamine (Reactine, Aerius, Claritin) and need something stronger
Medications We Routinely Prescribe
Your doctor will choose the option that fits your symptom pattern and any current medications. We follow Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology guidance.
- Intranasal corticosteroids (most effective for nasal symptoms): Nasonex (mometasone), Avamys (fluticasone furoate), Flonase, Nasacort, Omnaris
- Second-generation oral antihistamines (less sedating): rupatadine (Rupall), bilastine (Blexten), desloratadine (Aerius), fexofenadine (Allegra)
- Combination intranasal antihistamine + steroid: Dymista
- Leukotriene receptor antagonist: montelukast (Singulair) — useful when asthma coexists
- Allergic conjunctivitis eye drops: olopatadine (Patanol/Pataday), ketotifen (Zaditor)
- Epi Pen and Allerject (0.15 mg and 0.30 mg) — epinephrine auto-injector renewal with a refreshed action plan
- Short course of oral prednisone for severe flares (selected cases)
- Mast cell stabilizers and high-dose H1 blockers for chronic urticaria
When We Refer You In Person
Some allergy concerns need in-person testing or a specialist. We will say so upfront and arrange the referral.
- Anaphylaxis happening right now — use your Epi Pen and call 911
- Suspected new food or insect-venom allergy — needs skin prick or specific IgE testing through an Alberta allergist
- Asthma that is poorly controlled alongside the allergies — needs spirometry and possibly biologic therapy work-up
- Eczema that is severe or infected — may need dermatology referral or in-person assessment
- Suspected hereditary angioedema or recurrent unexplained anaphylaxis — referral to immunology
- Drug allergies requiring desensitization or testing — managed by an allergist
How the Virtual Visit Works
Three steps. Current appointment times and any same-day options are shown before booking.
- Step 1 — Book a slot online (under 2 minutes) and complete a short intake covering symptoms, triggers, current medications, and any history of anaphylaxis
- Step 2 — Meet your licensed doctor by secure video. They review your symptom pattern, walk through trigger avoidance, and decide the right prescription tier
- Step 3 — Prescription is sent to your chosen Alberta pharmacy. Pharmacy processing time varies by location and prescription
Alberta-Specific Trigger Calendar
Alberta's allergy seasons are distinct. Knowing what is in the air helps target the right medication at the right time:
- March to May — tree pollen (poplar, birch, elm, maple)
- Late May to July — grass pollen (the dominant seasonal allergy in Edmonton and Calgary)
- Mid-July to first hard frost — ragweed and weed pollen
- Spring snowmelt and after rainfalls — outdoor mould spikes
- Year-round indoor — dust mites, pet dander, indoor mould (especially in basements after chinook melts)
- Wildfire smoke summers — irritant trigger that worsens true allergic symptoms

- Hives + trouble breathing, throat tightness, or wheezing
- Hives + dizziness, fainting, or rapid heartbeat
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, or face
- Sudden vomiting or stomach cramps after a food exposure
- Use your Epi Pen / Allerject in the outer thigh, then call 911 and go to your nearest ED — even if you feel better, biphasic reactions can occur up to 8 hours later
