Online pharmacy PocketPills expands out east

SURREY, BC – PocketPills, Canada’s first full service online pharmacy that delivers pre-sorted medications directly to patients, has launched its services in Nova Scotia.

Already available in BC, Alberta, Ontario, Yukon and Northwest Territories and Manitoba, the expansion ensures online access to medication to those living in the Atlantic provinces.

Nova Scotia and the Atlantic province residents can have their medications delivered directly to their door, with prescription orders and refills managed through the PocketPills mobile app. Medications are delivered in PocketPacks, individually sorted by dose, date and time, allowing patients to manage their medications more efficiently.  With a low dispensing fee and free delivery, patients can avoid long pharmacy lineups and have access to PocketPills pharmacists, seven days a week via live chat, text or phone.

“PocketPills will provide affordable and convenient medication to Canadians,” said Harj Samra (pictured), pharmacist & co-founder of PocketPills. “Managing medication is an ongoing challenge in Canada, where 50% of Canadians are not taking their medication as prescribed. We’re thrilled to be removing barriers to accessing medication through online consultations, pre-sorting technology and free doorstep delivery.”
