Accessing Contrave in Calgary

For patients who are living in Calgary, but don’t have a primary care physician, you can be forced to rely on walk-in or emergency services just to talk to a physician. This can lead to lots of semi-urgent and non-urgent cases ending up alongside legitimate emergency medical situations. In 2023/2024, this amount accounted for 22.6% of all emergency room visits in Calgary - almost a quarter!

But even with these issues facing patients in Calgary, Felix is making it quick and seamless to access telehealth support from the comfort and privacy of your own living room. We also offer no cost delivery on Contrave in Calgary, which means you can forget standing in long lines to pick up your treatments at the pharmacy either.

SIDE NOTE: Felix does not offer emergency healthcare services. If you’re dealing with a medical emergency, you should always call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital ER.

General information

What is Contrave?

Contrave is a combination of two medications in different proportions. 8 mg of naltrexone hydrochloride and 90 mg of bupropion hydrochloride combined in a single extended-release tablet.

Contrave is simply the brand name that’s given to this combination treatment. How and when to use these types of treatments will be explained to you by your practitioner during your virtual Contrave consultation.

How much does it cost to get Contrave in Calgary?

It’s hard for us to answer this question for everyone at the same time, because the actual cost of Contrave treatments could be impacted by a couple of outside factors, such as whether you have coverage to help get Contrave online in Calgary or the dosage that you’ve been prescribed.

Your practitioner will be happy to go over the estimated actual cost of your Contrave orders during your virtual consultation, so that you know what to expect when you buy Contrave orders in Calgary from Felix.

Questions About Contrave? We Have Answers

Contrave

What are alternatives in Canada if Contave is unavailable?

In the event that Contrave is not available to you in Calgary, your practitioner may be able to suggest alternative treatments that could work better for you, such as:

  • Wegovy
  • Zepbound
  • Saxenda

It will be up to your practitioner to determine which of these (if any) would work for you, based on your health and medical information, during your virtual Contrave consultation.

How long should I stay on Contrave?

Either as long as your clinician believes you should stay on these treatments, or for as long as you are personally prepared to stay on them.

It’s essential to remember before asking to buy Contrave orders in Calgary from Felix that these are meant to be long-term treatments, not something you’d only use for a little while.

The majority of patients who use Contrave use it for at least several months to years, while others may stay on Contrave indefinitely, so that they can achieve and maintain the health results they’re hoping to reach.

Is Contrave a pill or an injection?

When you get Contrave orders online in Calgary, they will come as a combination medication extended-release tablet, which you take orally at home.

Your practitioner will explain to you during your virtual Contrave consultation how and when you should be taking your treatments, but it’s good to remember that these pills should be taken with some kind of water. They can be taken with or without food.

Still need to request to get a prescription for Contrave in Calgary? Submit a short online assessment today, and one of our practitioners will be happy to review your information to see whether Contrave could be the right treatment option for you.

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 2-4 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages 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.

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 (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.
