Before you book
Have your medication bottle or pharmacy label handy: the drug name, strength, how you take it, and the pharmacy you want to use.
From Sherwood Park to the rural corners of Strathcona County, a routine prescription can be renewed without leaving home. A Canadian licensed doctor reviews your stable, non-controlled medication by secure phone or video and, if it is appropriate, sends the renewal to the pharmacy you choose.
Book Prescription RefillFree with an active Alberta Health Card

TelePlus Care's online refill service lets Sherwood Park residents have an existing, non-controlled prescription reviewed by a Canadian licensed doctor. There is no charge with an active Alberta Health Card, and it is $50 CAD without one for up to 3 medications. Approved renewals are sent electronically to your pharmacy.
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.
Sherwood Park is officially a hamlet, because Strathcona County chose to remain a single municipality of rural and urban areas, a specialized municipality since 1996. For the people who live here, the practical question is simpler: does a medication renewal have to mean a drive into Edmonton or a wait for a local appointment? It doesn't. With TelePlus Care, a Canadian licensed doctor phones or video-calls you, goes over the medication you already take and, if it is safe to continue, renews it.
Strathcona County is one of the municipalities in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, alongside Fort Saskatchewan, Sturgeon County, Lamont County and part of Edmonton, an area home to refineries and chemical and petrochemical facilities. If a job there keeps you on site through the middle of the day, a phone appointment early or late in clinic hours may be easier than a clinic visit. Find a private spot for the call. The doctor will ask the usual safety questions, including whether a medication affects your alertness around equipment.
Need a Sherwood Park prescription refill? Book a TelePlus Care online doctor review when you want a prescriber to check the medication, dose and recent health changes. If renewal is clinically appropriate, it can be sent to your preferred pharmacy. Alberta pharmacists can also renew an unchanged prescription as originally written for a simple bridge; choose the doctor visit when the medication no longer works, side effects have started, testing is overdue or the pharmacist cannot extend it.
Maintenance medications that have kept a condition steady are the core of what an online visit handles. Before renewing, the doctor may ask about recent lab results, a home blood pressure reading or how long you have been on the current dose. Tell the doctor if you have been skipping doses or taking the medication differently from the label, because that detail matters when deciding whether a straight renewal makes sense.
Before Strathcona Community Hospital opened in 2014, county residents travelled into Edmonton for emergency care. Now its emergency department at 9000 Emerald Drive is open 24/7. Go there, or call 911, for severe symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion or a serious allergic reaction; those don't belong in a refill appointment. For advice on whether something needs urgent attention, Health Link 811 has registered nurses available day and night.
Book online, enter your medication details and pharmacy, and look for the confirmation email; a team member may call to clarify anything missing. Have the medication in hand when the doctor calls, because reading the label aloud avoids mix-ups between similar strengths. Expect questions about side effects, allergies, other drugs and changes in your health since the last prescription. Before you hang up, you will know whether it was renewed, whether tests come first or whether you should be seen in person.
The renewal goes electronically to the pharmacy you pick. That might be a Sherwood Park pharmacy near home, one close to where you work, or one in Fort Saskatchewan or Edmonton if that suits your routine better. If mobility or timing makes pickup hard, ask the pharmacy whether it delivers. A quick phone call before you go in saves waiting at the counter while the prescription is processed.
No family doctor is needed to use TelePlus Care, but long-term care works best with one. The Sherwood Park β Strathcona County Primary Care Network's website lists doctors accepting new patients across its area, which includes Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Lamont, Gibbons, Redwater and Bon Accord. For other parts of the province, Alberta Find a Provider searches by location, and Health Link 811 can help you search by phone.
