Accessing Contrave in Winnipeg

While Winnipeg is a beautiful place to live, it has become a sort of catch-all for Manitoba’s low physician-to-patient per capita (only 112 for every 100,000 patients). This has led to longer than ever wait times to see a doctor, and exhausting hours crammed into busy waiting rooms.

Despite these obstacles, Felix is making it quick and easy for patients in Winnipeg to access our telehealth services from the privacy and comfort of your own home. And with no cost delivery on Contrave orders in Winnipeg from Felix, you can enjoy the freedom to skip the long lines at the pharmacy and have your treatments shipped (discreetly) to your doorstep.

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 the brand name given to the combination medication of naltrexone hydrochloride and bupropion hydrochloride.

These two medications are combined at the ratios of 8 mg of naltrexone hydrochloride and 90 mg of bupropion hydrochloride in an extended-release tablet that can be taken orally (by mouth).

When you buy Contrave orders in Winnipeg, these treatments will come with instructions on how to take your tablets effectively, but it’s important to remember to take them with some liquid, like water. It doesn’t matter whether they’re taken with food or not.

Haven’t yet gotten a prescription for Contrave? Take a few minutes to submit a short online assessment, and one of our healthcare practitioners will get back to you (usually within 24 hours) to have a virtual Contrave consultation with you.

How to get a prescription for Contrave in Winnipeg

Getting a prescription for Contrave requires having your health and medical information reviewed by a licensed healthcare practitioner, who can determine whether or not these types of treatments are right for you.

Start by filling out a short assessment, it only takes a few minutes of your time, and it can be done anytime of day or night.

Once it’s been reviewed, if your healthcare practitioner decides that Contrave is available to you in Winnipeg, they’ll be able to provide you with the prescription you need to then get Contrave orders online in Winnipeg from Felix and our pharmacy partners.

How much does it cost to get Contrave in Winnipeg?

There are a couple of factors that can impact the specific cost of your Contrave treatments, such as whether you have any private insurance coverage, or what dosage your healthcare practitioner has prescribed for you.

Your healthcare practitioner will be happy to go over the expected price of your Contrave, once these factors are taken into account during your virtual Contrave consultation.

SIDE NOTE: Be sure to collect any insurance information ahead of time, so that you can provide it when you submit your assessment information. This will allow the pharmacy to set up direct billing with your insurer for you, as a courtesy.

What are the eligibility requirements for Contrave?

Sub-copy: When discussing getting Contrave orders online at Felix, this is actually a two-part question.

As long as you live in Winnipeg and you’re over the age of 18, you’ll be eligible to request an online assessment from Felix and our team of licensed healthcare practitioners.

However, whether or not you’ll be approved to get Contrave orders online in Winnipeg will depend on what your healthcare practitioner believes would be the best treatment options for you, after they’ve reviewed your health information.

If they think Contrave treatments could be right for you, they’ll be able to provide you with a prescription for it.

At Felix, you can request an assessment without even having to leave your home, and you can do it anytime that makes sense for your schedule - day or night - and from any convenient digital device (i.e., tablet, phone, laptop, etc.).

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 Winnipeg, your healthcare practitioner may suggest alternatives that could work better for you, based on your unique needs. Some potential alternatives that may be suggested in this scenario include:

  • Zepbound
  • Wegovy
  • Saxenda

It will be up to the healthcare practitioner to determine which of these alternatives could be a good alternative for you, or if perhaps another type of treatment should be considered altogether.

How long should I stay on Contrave?

As long as you’re either prepared to stay on it, or until your healthcare practitioner determines you no longer need to stay on the treatments.

When buying Contrave orders in Winnipeg, be sure to remember that these are meant to be used for longer periods of time, not just a few months. Many patients use Contrave treatments for several months, years, or even indefinitely.

If you’re thinking about stopping your Contrave treatments, be sure to talk to your healthcare practitioner about it ahead of time, so that they can walk you through what to expect post-treatment.

Is Contrave a pill or an injection?

Contrave is a combination medication that comes in the form of an extended-release tablet to be taken by mouth.

Be sure to take your Contrave with a liquid like water when you take your dosages, but it’s up to you whether or not you take it with food.

Instructions on how and when to use your online Contrave orders in Winnipeg will be included with your prescription packaging, as well as explained to you in detail by your healthcare practitioner during your virtual Contrave consultation.

Haven’t gotten your consultation yet? No problem, just take a few minutes to submit a short online assessment, and one of our practitioners will get back to you (usually within 24 hours), so they can discuss their treatment suggestions with 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.
