Accessing Contrave in Edmonton

With it becoming harder and more time consuming to access a healthcare practitioner in Edmonton, more semi- and non-urgent care is being thrust on already overburdened emergency rooms. In Edmonton-Rutherford region alone, this accounted for 20.1% of all emergency visits in 2023/2024.

With Felix, you can forget about issues like waiting weeks to get an appointment with a practitioner, or spending long hours past your appointment time sitting around a busy waiting room. Our secure assessment system allows you to take back control of your healthcare, so you can get the support and guidance you need on your schedule.

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 medication that contains both 8 mg of naltrexone hydrochloride and 90 mg of bupropion hydrochloride. These medications are combined into a single extended-release tablet, which is to be taken by mouth.

REMEMBER: Contrave pills should be taken with water or another liquid, but it doesn’t matter whether or not they’re taken alongside food.

If you’d like to request a health assessment from Felix to determine whether Contrave would be considered a good treatment option, start by filling out a short online assessment for us to review.

How to get a prescription for Contrave in Edmonton

The only way to get a prescription for Contrave in Edmonton is to first have your health and medical history evaluated by a licensed healthcare practitioner, who can determine the best potential treatment options for you, based on your personalized needs.

At Felix, you can start this process by taking a few minutes to fill out and submit your online assessment, and one of our clinicians will get back to you (typically within 24 hours) to have a virtual Contrave consultation with you.

When Contrave is available to you in Edmonton, your practitioner will be able to write you the prescription you need to then buy Contrave orders in Edmonton from Felix.

How much does it cost to get Contrave in Edmonton?

The specific cost of your Contrave treatments can vary a bit from patient-to-patient, because there are some outside factors that may impact how much you have to pay for your treatments.

These factors could include things like whether or not you have any private insurance to get Contrave online in Edmonton, as well as what your prescribed dosage is during your assessment review.

SIDE NOTE: It’s also good to remember that if you believe that you could have private insurance coverage for these types of treatments, you should reach out to your insurance rep ahead of your virtual Contrave consultation to gather that info. This way, we can help set up direct billing with your insurer for you, as a courtesy.

What are the eligibility requirements for Contrave?

Sub-copy: In order to be eligible to request an online assessment from Felix, you must be over the age of 18, if you’re living in Edmonton.

Apart from that, it will be up to your practitioner to determine whether or not Contrave would be right for you, or if an alternative could potentially be a better choice (based on your unique health needs).

Start by submitting a short online assessment, so that one of our clinicians can review your health information and determine the best potential treatment options for your needs.

When they determine Contrave is available to you in Edmonton, they’ll be able to provide you with a prescription for it.

Finding a doctor in Edmonton who prescribes Contrave

After one of our clinicians reviews your health information, they’ll reach out to you to discuss their treatment recommendations, including Contrave when it’s considered a good treatment option.

Questions About Contrave? We Have Answers

Contrave

What are alternatives in Canada if Contave is unavailable?

When Contrave is not available to you in Edmonton, your practitioner may suggest alternatives that could be better treatment options for you, such as:

  • Saxenda
  • Wegovy
  • Zepbound

You’ll have to talk with your practitioner during your virtual Contrave consultation to determine which of these three (or another solution) would be best for you, based on your individual health needs.

How long should I stay on Contrave?

You should be prepared to get Contrave orders in Edmonton until you’re either no longer willing to continue with your treatments, or until your practitioner believes the treatments are no longer necessary.

It’s really important to remember that these treatments are meant to be used for long periods of time. Rarely will a patient only be on this medication for a short period of time, if it’s being taken accurately.

In fact, most patients that get Contrave orders online in Edmonton should expect to be using these treatments for at least several months to years. If you have concerns about this, be sure to bring it up with your practitioner during your virtual Contrave consultation.

Is Contrave a pill or an injection?

Contrave is a combination medication that comes in the form of an extended-release tablet, which is to be taken by mouth with water or another liquid.

It doesn’t matter whether Contrave is taken with or without food, and instructions on how and when to take your Contrave treatments will be explained to you by your practitioner during your virtual Contrave consultation.

If you haven’t yet requested a health review, you should take a few minutes and submit a short online assessment for one of our practitioners to review.

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.
