Pocketpills is Canada’s all-in-one online healthcare hub, built in 2018 to modernize doctor visits and pharmacy errands. You can chat with licensed Canadian healthcare providers, renew or manage prescriptions for yourself or your family, and get your medications delivered straight to your door — all without setting foot in a clinic or pharmacy.

‍

Complete a quick online assessment to start your hair loss treatment plan. In this assessment, you’ll be asked questions to describe your symptoms through a secure online form.

‍

You'll get a diagnosis from a Canadian doctor, a care strategy, and if needed, prescription medication delivered right to your door. No waiting rooms, no clinic visits.

Pricing for hair loss drugs depends on the type of hair loss you’re dealing with and the strength of the treatment recommended for your situation. Common hair concerns include receding hairlines, thinning hair, bald spots, and increased shedding. Costs can vary depending on the type of hair loss treatment and its formulation, typically ranging from $13 to $70 per month.

‍

These prices are approximate, and you can always chat with our friendly doctors or Canada-based Care Team — they're happy to give you accurate prices based on your personalized treatment plan. You can compare prices for the most popular hair loss medication using Pocketpills’ online price checker tool.

‍

After ordering an online assessment, if treatment is eligible, you will be shown medication pricing during checkout. At this stage you can select your preferred medication for hair loss treatment or let your Pocketpills doctor decide for you.

Using Pocketpills is completely free. No service fees, no delivery fees, no hidden charges. We transfer your prescriptions, search for savings, and offer free shipping to deliver your meds anywhere in Canada.

‍

The only costs you may pay are the online assessment fee (if you need a doctor consultation), the price of your medication, and a standard $9.99 drug dispensing fee. If you have insurance, your copay stays exactly the same as it would at any other pharmacy. If you’re uninsured, you simply pay the medication price. Our tech-driven model keeps pharmacy costs low — and we pass those savings directly to you.
