Already know which medication you need?

Prescription-only appointment

For clients who already know which travel medication they require and do not need a full consultation. Your nurse completes a brief screening and coordinates with the collaborating Nurse Practitioner to issue the prescription. Each script is $30 and is faxed to your pharmacy for pickup. Please bring your medication request, destination and departure date.

What we can prescribe

  • Malaria prevention. If you're visiting a malaria-risk region, preventive medication can significantly reduce your chances of infection. We recommend the right option based on your destination, trip length and personal health needs.
  • Traveller's diarrhea and cholera. An oral vaccine, taken as a drinkable dose before your trip, that helps protect against cholera and can reduce the risk of traveller's diarrhea caused by certain bacteria.
  • Altitude sickness. Heading to high elevations? We can prescribe medication that helps your body adjust and reduces the risk of altitude sickness.
  • Other. From antibiotics for unexpected infections to antihistamines for allergies and medications to prevent motion sickness, we provide prescriptions tailored to your trip.
