About Jardiance

Jardiance (its generic name is empagliflozin) is a medication that’s used to help control blood sugar levels in adults that have type 2 diabetes.

Prescription Jardiance medications can be used either as a solo treatment alongside a healthy diet and exercise, or it can be used in combination with:

  • Metformin
  • Other diabetes medications (i.e., a sulfonylurea, pioglitazone, etc.)

Jardiance can also be used as a method to reduce your risk of life-threatening cardiovascular issues relating to your heart or blood vessels.

The medication Jardiance (and its generic name empagliflozin) work by helping to expel excess glucose from your body through your urine.

Using Jardiance for diabetes helps to control blood sugar levels within your body, alongside diet and exercise, if you have type 2 diabetes.

If you’ve been wondering “what is Jardiance used for?”, Jardiance is used as a method to help control blood sugar levels in patients that have type 2 diabetes. It can be used either alone or as a combination diabetes medication

In some cases, it’s also used as a preventative treatment for people with type 2 diabetes to reduce the risk of severe cardiovascular episodes (relating to your blood vessels or heart), which could be life-threatening.

Not everyone who orders Jardiance online in Canada will experience side effects, but the side effects of Jardiance medications may include:

  • Unusual thirst
  • Dehydration
  • Needing to pee more often than usual
  • Itching
  • Rash
  • Straining or mild pain while urinating

If any of these potential side effects of Jardiance begin to become severe, you should talk to your practitioner right away. They might be able to suggest an alternative dosage or medication to Jardiance, without the interactions that you’re experiencing.

In addition to these side effects of Jardiance, there are some more serious side effects to be mindful of. Be sure to talk to your practitioner immediately if you start to experience:

  • Low blood sugar
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Genital infections
  • Severe dehydration
  • Allergic skin reactions
  • Low blood pressure
  • Kidney problems
  • Acute kidney infection
  • Infection that spreads (sepsis)
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)

At this time, there are no known side effects of Jardiance on your eyes, which is a concern with some diabetes medications.

There are a number of people who shouldn’t accept online Jardiance prescriptions, including:

  • Patients with type 1 diabetes
  • Patients with history of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
  • Patients with severe kidney problems and/or those on dialysis
  • Patients who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
  • Patients who are currently breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed
  • Patients under the age of 18
  • Patients over the age of 85
  • Patients who are allergic to certain milk sugars (Jardiance medications contain lactose)

In addition to these people, there are certain conditions that may cause negative interactions with Jardiance prescriptions. You should talk to your practitioner before taking Jardiance if you:

  • Are older than 65
  • Have or have ever had liver disease
  • Have or have had kidney problems
  • Have heart disease
  • Have low blood pressure
  • Are taking medication for high blood pressure or a water pill
  • Are taking other medications to lower your blood sugar (i.e., glyburide, gliclazide or glimepiride [sulfonylureas], or insulin)
  • Have an increased risk of experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), such as:
    • You’re frequently dehydrated, or suffer from excessive diarrhea, vomiting, and/or sweating
    • You’re on a very low-carb diet
    • You drink a lot of alcohol
    • You have or have had problems with your pancreas (including surgery)
    • You’re currently hospitalized for a surgery, serious illness, or serious infection
    • You have a history of DKA

One of the most challenging parts of having diabetes is finding a method to control your blood sugars every day, so they stay stable and you stay healthy

Jardiance medications can help by removing excess glucose from your body, before it can build up in your blood and cause negative effects. It does this by excreting the excess glucose using your urine.

Also, using Jardiance can reduce the risk of catastrophic problems occurring during your treatments, if you’re at risk to experience cardiovascular issues.

Alcohol is a diuretic, which causes your body to expel urine faster than normal and can lead to dehydration. Due to the concerns of dehydration while taking Jardiance, interactions with alcohol are something to be mindful of; especially if you frequently drink alcohol or drink large amounts during a single sitting.

Jardiance should only be taken once per day, so you should avoid ever taking a second dose of Jardiance during the same 24 hours. This can also intensify certain side effects like dehydration, as well as increase risks of DKA occurring.

Jardiance medications are known to increase cholesterol in your blood, so it’s recommended to avoid eating high-cholesterol foods regularly in your diet, as it may contribute to issues with your cholesterol levels.

In addition to these concerns, prescription Jardiance medications may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, so it’s not recommended to operate heavy machinery while using this treatment.

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.

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.

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.

Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I completed my online visit. Now what?

Great, you’ve already taken the first step! Next, a healthcare practitioner will review your assessment and if necessary, will send you a link to book an online audio or video appointment with them. This appointment will help them determine the best treatment plan for you. If your healthcare practitioner thinks you will benefit from an available medication, they will write you a prescription. Our pharmacy can ship your medication to your home if you would like your medication dispensed through the Felix Pharmacy network.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How and when can I update my shipping address?

Your address can be updated from the Shipping tab of your account. Kindly note that any changes need to be made 48hr ahead of your refill date.

How long will it take to get my medication?

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

The pharmacy will process and fill your prescription within 2-3 business days of your prescription approval date if there is nothing blocking them from doing so.

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.

How many days do I have to notify you of an undelivered or lost package, or damaged medication?

We’ll contact you via email if your package is returned to us!

For most treatments, your meds will be destroyed 1 month after your fill date should you fail to respond to Felix Customer Support or contact the partner pharmacy. Temperature controlled medications may have a reduced reshipment eligibility window due to their limited shelf life, in accordance with product guidelines. All reshipments are at the discretion of a pharmacist’s professional judgment.

If you require assistance with a returned package, 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.

What happens if there isn’t anyone available for the delivery?

Depending on your province of residence and the treatment being dispensed, your Felix packages may require a signature on delivery. If this cannot be collected where necessary, your package will be available at the closest post office for pick up. Usually, packages are available for up to 14 days after the first attempted delivery. If you don’t pick up your package within the allotted time, it will be returned to the sender, which may cause a further delay in your delivery.

We are supported by leaders in the Canadian pharmacology and specialized medical fields. Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic.

How do I change my credit card information?

Go to Billing, and you will be able to update the credit card information on file.

How much does a checkup visit cost?

The cost of the checkup visit varies by category, but in many cases there is no charge, so long as you complete your checkup visit before your current prescription expires.

How much is the online visit?

Felix charges a fee for the online visit. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.

How much will my treatment cost?

It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be billed for medication costs for your prescription once it is approved and sent to our pharmacy. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.

Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily need to pay the full price yourself. If you have insurance, Felix’s partner pharmacies will bill your insurer directly. You may also be eligible for financial support in your province.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

Why can’t I see medication prices on the website?

While it is illegal in Canada to display market pricing for prescription medication, you will be able to see the estimated cost of medication during the online visit. The price shown is an estimation and will vary if the healthcare practitioner prescribes you a different medication, or if you have insurance or benefits coverage. All estimated prices shown during the online visit include the pharmacy fill fee based on the refill schedule of your choice.

Will I be charged for the visit fee, even if a prescription is denied?

Yes, the visit fee is charged when you submit your visit and is generally refunded if the visit is denied by your healthcare practitioner.
Exceptions apply: Weight Loss visit fees are refunded only if you are deemed clinically ineligible. Visit fees for Diagnostic categories (Metabolic Health, STIs) and Menopause are non-refundable. For these complex health categories, the visit fee covers the practitioner’s time to review your medical assessment, issuing a lab requisition, reviewing your lab results with you, and making a diagnosis if applicable.

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.

I didn’t have insurance when I first got my prescription, but now I have it. What do I do?

Go to Billing where you can add or update your insurance information on file.

I forgot to upload my insurance information before my first fill was charged. What can I do now?

You will find the official receipt for your medication costs within your package from the pharmacy. This receipt can be used to submit a manual claim directly to your insurance/benefits provider. Future refills will be direct-billed directly to your insurance provider, once you have uploaded your insurance information from the Billing tab of your account.

I uploaded my insurance information during my online visit but still see a cost for the medication in my profile.

The coverage you are eligible for will not be deducted until the pharmacy processes your refill, so the price you see in your profile is the estimated maximum medication cost before benefits. Once the pharmacy ships your meds, the actual cost will be displayed for the respective refill.

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.
