How to Transfer Your Prescription to a New Pharmacy
Thinking about switching to a pharmacy closer to home? Moving your prescriptions to our Kanata pharmacy is far easier than most people expect — usually just a single phone call, with no charge to transfer.
You don't have to do the legwork
The biggest myth about switching pharmacies is that it's a hassle. It isn't. When you transfer a prescription to our Kanata pharmacy, we handle the call to your old pharmacy ourselves — you don't need to chase anyone down or fill out paperwork.
How to transfer your prescription
- Bring the bottle — or just a photo of the label — into 329 March Road, or call us at (613) 435-2111.
- We contact your current pharmacy and request the transfer of your prescription file.
- We take it from there. In most cases your prescriptions are on file with us by the next day.
There's no charge to transfer, and you can move one prescription or all of them.
