Need a Refill? How to Renew Prescriptions Without Seeing a Doctor

Pharmacist-Led Prescription Management in Calgary and Edmonton

If you’ve ever run out of medication and struggled to get a timely doctor appointment, you’re not alone. Alberta residents often face wait times for basic prescription renewals that shouldn’t require another clinical exam. Fortunately, under Alberta’s expanded scope of practice, pharmacists can assess your condition and renew many prescriptions on the spot.

UPharmacy’s team of clinical pharmacists provides fast and reliable prescription management services in both Calgary and Edmonton. Whether you're managing seasonal allergies, acid reflux, acne, or a chronic condition, we help you avoid unnecessary delays and interruptions in care. Our pharmacist-led model offers a smarter, more convenient way to keep your health on track. 

What Is Pharmacist-Prescribed Care?

Pharmacists in Alberta are authorized to prescribe and renew many medications for eligible patients. This means that instead of seeing a doctor for a routine refill, you can walk into UPharmacy and speak with a pharmacist who understands your treatment history. If your condition is stable and you’ve been on a medication consistently, we can likely extend your prescription safely.

Who Can Get a Refill Without a Doctor?

If you're already on a medication and simply need more of it, like antihistamines for allergies, birth control, or a proton pump inhibitor for acid reflux, you may be eligible for a pharmacist-led renewal. Our pharmacists will ask a few questions to confirm it's still the right treatment and check for any changes in your health before issuing the refill.

Virtual and In-Clinic Prescription Support

Busy schedule? No problem. UPharmacy offers virtual consults so you can get your prescription renewed from the comfort of your home. Prefer to come in? Walk-ins are always welcome. Our clinics in Calgary and Edmonton provide efficient, compassionate care that puts your time and health first.
