Postmenopause is more
‍
than hot flashes

Hormonal changes can trigger a range of uncomfortable menopause symptoms. Menopause treatment can often help alleviate these symptoms, improve your quality of life, and decrease your risk of ongoing health issues..

Menopause is universal  

Everyone with ovaries will spend between one-third and one-half of their lives in the menopause continuum. While the stages of menopause are expected, suffering through them shouldn't be. Fortunately, Felix offers science-backed treatments to help you manage your symptoms now and into the future.

Find your treatment

We recognize that our use of the term "women" in discussing menopause may not cover all experiences. We acknowledge the transgender men and non-binary individuals who experience menopause and the transgender women who do not, and are working to include everyone in the conversation.

What is postmenopause and how does it develop?

Postmenopause is the stage of life that begins after you’ve gone through menopause. During this phase, your ovaries produce much lower levels of estrogen and progesterone.

While some menopause symptoms like hot flashes may lessen, many people continue to experience postmenopause symptoms or develop new ones, such as vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances or mood changes. Postmenopause is also associated with an increased risk of certain health conditions, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.

Recognizing postmenopause as a unique stage can help you better understand your body’s needs and take steps to support your health in the long term.

When does postmenopause occur?

Postmenopause begins after you haven’t had a period for 12 months in a row. For most women, this happens around age 51, but the timing can vary.

Once you enter postmenopause, you remain in this stage for the rest of your life. Hormone levels stay consistently low, and while you can’t become pregnant naturally anymore, hormonal changes can continue to affect your body in new ways.

Knowing what signals the end of menopause can help you adjust your lifestyle, monitor your health and find support for any ongoing or new postmenopause symptoms.

Treatment option for managing postmenopause

While postmenopause is a natural stage, you don’t have to put up with symptoms that impact your daily life. A healthcare practitioner may recommend a personalized, postmenopausal syndrome treatment plan to help you feel more comfortable and support your overall health. At Felix, we offer treatments that have been authorized for sale by Health Canada.

Simple lifestyle shifts can also help manage symptoms:
  • Moving your body regularly
  • Prioritizing quality sleep
  • Quitting smoking
  • Eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
  • Limiting alcohol and caffeine

Frequently asked questions about postmenopause

Postmenopause

What about side effects of acne medication?

Topical prescription acne treatment is a generally safe and effective medication. However, some users experience side effects.

The most common side effect is a warm, stinging sensation on the skin directly after the medication is applied. This is often accompanied by dry and itchy skin, redness, mild peeling/scaling, and sun sensitivity. Many of these minor side effects resolve on their own, while others are easily fixed by using a moisturizer or other skin care products to counter the dryness.

Some treatments can also potentially make your acne get worse before it gets better. In most cases, this side effect is temporary and goes away after two to four weeks of use.

If you are experiencing side effects during your treatment, you can message your healthcare practitioner directly at any time. Your Felix practitioner can work with you to create a new treatment plan.

Can I be accurately assessed for acne remotely?

Absolutely. The acne assessment you will complete via Felix requires you to upload photos of your skin for the heatlthcare practitioner to review. These photos, along with the other medical information you provide, will usually be sufficient for the practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription as well as craft an appropriate treatment plan.

During your assessment, the healthcare practitioner may also follow up with questions via the secure chat.

How much does the prescription skin cream cost?

Acne medication filled with our Felix pharmacy partners is comparable to what you'd pay at your local pharmacy. Starting at $6.52 per tube (not including the pharmacy fill fee), the price will vary based on the drug chosen, the province it is shipped to, and the refill schedule chosen.

If your healthcare practitioner believes acne medication is right for you, they can provide you with a prescription and discretely deliver your medication right to your door, at no additional cost.

Can I get acne treatment online?

Yes, with Felix you can get treatment for acne online including prescription acne medication. Just complete a short online assessment and if approved, your prescription acne medication will be shipped directly to your door for free.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please reach out to our Patient Support team through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of your account or our Contact Us page.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Shipping

How long will it take to get my treatment?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-3 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages are shipped via Express Post, which usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How much does it cost to ship my treatment?

There is currently no cost to have your treatment shipped to you from our Felix Pharmacy network.

Insurance

Am I covered by my insurance?

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.

‍

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.

Alberta: Learn more about AHCIP here. Search for covered drugs here.

British Columbia: Learn more about MSP here. Search for covered drugs here.

Manitoba: Learn more about MHSIP here. Search for covered drugs here.

Prince Edward Island: Learn more about Health PEI here. Search for covered drugs here.

Saskatchewan: Learn more about Saskatchewan Health Coverage here. Search for covered drugs here.‍

Is birth control covered by OHIP in Ontario?

OHIP+ covers some birth control for eligible residents of Ontario who are under 25 years old and do not have private insurance. You can check if your birth control medication is covered here. Make sure to upload your Ontario health card during your online visit so our pharmacy partners can apply your coverage directly.

Felix 101

What is Felix?

Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a treatment plan for certain conditions, but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a lifestyle treatment safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about your current treatments or treatment plans.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialists to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Our Healthcare Practitioners

How do I communicate with my Felix practitioner?

Your Felix practitioner will message you via secure instant message. You’ll receive an email when you have a new message and can respond to these from within your Felix account.

Can I see the same Felix practitioner after my initial assessment?

You will have the ability to chat with your designated Felix practitioner for the entirety of your prescription length. When your prescription is nearing completion, we will email you to submit a checkup visit so one of our prescribers can renew your prescription. 

Our matching system is based on availability, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be paired with the same healthcare practitioner at your renewal visit.

Who are the practitioners that will be reviewing my online visit?

They are all licensed, real Canadian healthcare practitioners! All online visits submitted via Felix are reviewed by them and they must be licensed in your province to prescribe you the medication. It is these healthcare practitioners, and not Felix, who determine whether or not to write you a prescription, as well as the appropriate dosage (where applicable).

What does your medical team do?

Our medical team and board members help oversee each of our treatments to ensure our medical assessments are thorough, safe, personalized, and provide best-in-class care. Our pharmacists provide treatment support through medication counselling and education.
