Questions about weight loss medications? START WITH A PHARMACIST-LED ASSESSMENT
Complete a confidential online intake. A Mint pharmacist will review your information and, when appropriate, forwards it to a prescribing clinician for assessment.
Online Intake · Pharmacist Reviewed · Local Pharmacy Pickup
Pharmacist Reviewed
Your intake is reviewed by a local pharmacy professional, not simply submitted directly into an automated prescribing funnel.
Your Medications Matter
Your pharmacist can help identify medication-related considerations and questions that may be important to the assessment.
Local Pickup
If medication is prescribed, it is prepared through your selected Mint pharmacy rather than shipped from an unknown national fulfilment centre.
Ongoing support
Your relationship doesn’t end when the prescription is issued. Your local Mint pharmacy is available for medication questions and ongoing pharmacy support.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a referral from your family doctor to start the process. Simply complete our confidential online intake and a Mint pharmacist will review the information you provide.
If weight-management medication may be appropriate for you, your information can then be forwarded to an authorized prescriber for further assessment.
Who can prescribe weight-management medication?
In British Columbia, weight-management medications require a prescription. Your Mint pharmacist will review your intake, medication history and other relevant information first.
When appropriate, your information will then be forwarded to a physician or other authorized prescriber, who will determine whether prescription treatment is suitable for you.
Am I eligible for weight-management medication?
That depends on your individual health history, current medications, treatment goals and other factors.
The online intake helps collect the information needed for your assessment, but completing the intake does not mean that medication will necessarily be prescribed. An authorized prescriber will make that decision based on your individual circumstances.
Can I complete the intake if I’m already taking a GLP-1 medication?
Yes. If you are already taking a GLP-1 or another prescription weight-management medication, you can still complete the intake.
Tell us which medication you are taking and provide information about your current treatment. A Mint pharmacist can review your information and help determine the appropriate next step.
Do I need to see someone in person?
You can begin the process online by completing the confidential intake.
Depending on your individual circumstances, additional information or a consultation may be required before a prescribing decision can be made. Your pharmacist or prescriber will let you know if anything else is needed.
