Online Prescription Refill in Iqaluit

Yes. If your medication is stable, already prescribed, and suitable for virtual care, a TelePlus Care doctor can review it online while you are in Iqaluit and send a refill to your preferred pharmacy when clinically appropriate.

Common examples include stable maintenance medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid conditions, asthma or COPD, diabetes, acid reflux, allergies, birth control, and some mental health medications that are not controlled substances. The doctor decides after reviewing your situation.

Controlled substances and high-risk medications are not managed as routine online refills. This includes opioids, narcotics, benzodiazepines, ADHD stimulants, and medications that need urgent testing, an in-person exam, or closer monitoring before renewal.

Yes. After booking, you will receive an email confirmation with your appointment details. A member of the TelePlus Care team may also call you to confirm your medication request, preferred pharmacy, and any missing intake information before the virtual doctor visit.

Yes, it depends on the situation. If the doctor determines that a refill cannot be provided safely online, the medication is not appropriate for virtual renewal, or the visit cannot proceed, TelePlus Care will review the appointment for an eligible refund. Approved refunds are initiated within one business day, and an administrative processing charge may apply.

No. You can book directly with TelePlus Care for a focused refill review. A regular family doctor is still important for long-term care, chronic disease monitoring, and medication changes, but a virtual refill visit may help when you need a timely review for an existing stable medication.

Often, yes — pharmacist prescribing is limited in Nunavut and most communities rely on health centres rather than resident physicians. Ask your pharmacy first. When a pharmacist can't extend it — refills lapsed, the dose changed, new symptoms, or the medication is outside their scope — a Canadian licensed doctor can review it online.

TelePlus Care virtual refill visits are a private paid service and are not billed to the Nunavut Health Care Plan. The fee is confirmed at booking and covers the doctor's medication review.

TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic, so visits are not billed to Nunavut Health Care Plan (Nunavut Health Care Plan) — you pay a flat visit fee and there is no wait-list or referral needed. Our doctors are licensed by the the Nunavut Department of Health to care for patients in Nunavut. For publicly insured, non-urgent advice you can also call 811 (Nunavut).

Choose from the current TelePlus Care appointment times shown in the booking form — no roster, referral, or wait-list is required. Same-day options may be available, but availability changes with clinician capacity and demand; the earliest selectable time is at least two hours after booking. You connect with a Canadian licensed doctor by phone or secure video from home, and when appropriate a prescription is sent to your preferred Iqaluit pharmacy.
