Benefits of getting an antibiotic prescription over telehealth

Your visit takes place on a PIPEDA-compliant platform designed to protect your privacy. Your medical information is handled securely and is never shared without your consent.

Prescription delivered to your local pharmacy

Types of antibiotics you can get online
The right antibiotic depends on your symptoms, allergies, medical history, and the type of infection. If medically appropriate, you can get an online prescription for the following antibiotics without going to a clinic in person.
What conditions do antibiotics treat?
You can get antibiotics online when a bacterial infection is diagnosed. You may not get an antibiotic prescription if your symptoms look viral, if you need a swab or a urine culture, or if you need in-person care. A licensed doctor evaluates your symptoms and prescribes antibiotics when you have one of the following infections:
Urinary Tract Infections
Burning when you pee, urgency, and needing to go often can point to an uncomplicated UTI. Instead of waiting in a crowded clinic room, you can get antibiotics for UTI from Your Doctors Online. Common first-line treatment in Canada includes Nitrofurantoin, or Fosfomycin.
Bacterial Vaginosis
Unusual discharge with a strong odour can be a sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV). After an online consultation, you can get Clindamycin, Metronidazole, and other prescription antibiotics for BV in minutes when medically appropriate.
Sinusitis
Facial pressure, nasal congestion, and thick discharge can suggest a sinus infection, but many cases are viral and improve without antibiotics. You can get antibiotics for a sinus infection if symptoms last longer than expected or worsen after initial improvement. A doctor can assess you online and prescribe Amoxicillin when appropriate.
Dental infection
You can get antibiotics for a dental infection online by consulting our licensed doctors. Severe tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity can point to a dental infection, but antibiotics are only prescribed when a doctor determines the infection is bacterial.
Ear infection
Ear pain, pressure, or reduced hearing can be signs of an ear infection. If you’re unable to access care, whether it’s late at night or during harsh weather, you can speak with an online doctor who will assess your condition and determine whether antibiotics are appropriate. If needed, your prescription can be sent directly to a nearby pharmacy in Canada for convenient pickup.

I had a recurring fever and a bad cough, so I decided to try an online consultation. I was quickly connected with a care advisor, and the doctor prescribed antibiotics and other medication. Within two weeks I was feeling much better.

This was the easiest doctor’s visit I’ve ever had. The doctor was very kind and prescribed antibiotics, and the prescription was sent directly to my local pharmacy. The entire process was incredibly simple.
~PKskinnyjeans App Store
I was extremely sick and couldn’t afford an emergency room visit. After explaining my situation, the doctor prescribed a week’s worth of antibiotics that I was able to pick up at my pharmacy. The experience was very helpful.

The providers have always been very supportive and helpful. In the past they prescribed antibiotics for conditions like strep throat and UTIs, and the care has always been compassionate and reliable.

Frequently asked questions
How much do antibiotics cost in Canada?
The cost of antibiotics in Canada typically ranges from $8 to $40 CAD, depending on the medication, dosage, and pharmacy, with consultation fees billed separately. Provincial health plans (like OHIP, MSP, or AHCIP) usually cover doctor visits but do not always cover medications, which may require private insurance or out-of-pocket payment. Accessing care through the public system can take time due to appointment delays or clinic wait times. With our telehealth platform, you can connect with a licensed online doctor quickly and receive a prescription if medically appropriate, helping you avoid delays.
Can your doctors prescribe antibiotics online?
Yes. Physicians at Your Doctors Online are licensed in the provinces where they practice and follow Canadian prescribing regulations. They assess your symptoms during a virtual consultation and prescribe antibiotics only when a bacterial infection is diagnosed and treatment is appropriate.
How fast can I get antibiotics online?
You can get an antibiotic prescription online quickly with Your Doctors Online. Simply create an account, share your symptoms, and a doctor will assess your condition. If a bacterial infection is diagnosed, your prescription can be sent to your pharmacy for same-day pick-up or delivery.
Can I get antibiotics for a viral infection?
No, antibiotics do not treat viral infections such as colds or the flu. If your symptoms appear viral, your provider may recommend supportive care, monitoring, or follow-up instead of antibiotics.
Can I get over-the-counter antibiotics in Canada?
Most antibiotics are not available over the counter in Canada. If you think you may need one, the safest route is to speak with a licensed Canadian provider who can assess whether antibiotics are appropriate for your condition.
