Prescriptions
Fill your prescriptions with the expert knowledge of pharmacists and pharmacy students.
Your Discovery Pharmacy Care Team is here to help you better manage your health. We will ensure that your prescribed medication therapy is safe and effective for the health issue you are managing. A 1-on-1 virtual, phone, or in-person appointment with the pharmacist and/or pharmacy student will be a space for you to ask any questions you may have about your medications. We’ll get to know you and your health to ensure the medications you are taking are working for you the way you want them to.
In addition to receiving expert counsel on your medications, our patient-centered approach includes assessment of non-drug interventions that may be helpful to improve your health. We may also provide referrals to other services or providers as necessary.
For any issues booking your appointment, please contact discovery.pharmacy@utoronto.ca
