Prescription Renewals

Occasionally, individuals receiving care from a Naturopathic Doctor may require pharmaceutical interventions. Notably, in British Columbia, Naturopathic Doctors have the opportunity to undergo supplementary training that enables them to provide prescriptions directly. All of our Naturopathic Doctors have successfully completed this additional training, which equips them to evaluate your health requirements and determine the optimal treatment approaches. This comprehensive approach may encompass pharmaceutical prescriptions when deemed suitable for your well-being.

Prescriptions provided by a Naturopathic Doctor are processed at the pharmacy just like prescriptions from your traditional medical doctor, guaranteeing coverage and ease of access. Furthermore, for individuals with specific requirements such as allergies, difficulties in swallowing, or alternative dosing strategies, we collaborate with compounding pharmacies to ensure tailored solutions.
