Your pharmacist owner affiliated to Jean Coutu is an accessible, first-hand ally for your health. Discover the services they can offer you every day.
It’s Ready! notification service
Thanks to our It’s Ready! notification service, you’ll be instantly notified by email or text when your pharmacist has finished checking your file and preparing your prescription. To take advantage of this service, speak to a member of the team at the pharmacy counter or select the notification service in your Health Record.
Preauthorized prescription refill service
Whether you take one or many medications, this service allows you choose when you’d like to receive a call from your pharmacist to renew your medication. No need to write yourself a reminder! Your pharmacist’s team will be sure to call you when the time comes.
Consultation and prescription services
Your pharmacist can help you by recommending over-the-counter medication, providing prescription medication or simply giving you simple tips to help you feel better. They will meet with you to evaluate your situation, help you decide what the best course of action is or refer you to the right resource. This service is available with or without an appointment.
Prescription extension
If your prescription can no longer be renewed and you haven't been back to see your doctor yet, your pharmacist can evaluate how your treatment is going and re-prescribe your medication until your next doctor’s appointment. Note that some treatments cannot be prescribed by your pharmacist, who will then get in touch with your doctor to discuss your situation.
Your pharmacist requires certain information before they can extend your prescription. To prepare for your appointment, simply complete and bring this form with you when meeting with your pharmacist.
Help with taking your medication
Do you sometimes forget to take your medication? Your pharmacist can put together a weekly pill dispenser to help you remember to take your various doses.
Do you find it hard to open pill vials or cut your medication in half?
Your pharmacist can provide you with easy-to-open packaging and even pre-cut your medication for you, as needed. They can also remove capsules from their packaging if this makes taking medication easier for you. Note that the medication must be suitable for removal from its packaging and resistant to light and humidity.
