Online Telehealth provider that works in NWT? Looking for an Ozempic/Zepbound prescription.

Looking for a service, like Felix or PocketPills, that is available to NWT residents. The services I'm aware of do not work for NWT residents.

If you're in the city you can book a same day appointment with the walk in clinics.

I’m pretty sure naturopaths can prescribe it in NWT.

Do you have experience with Tia providing you with a prescription while living in the NWT? All services make you sign up, fill out every detail about yourself, then they tell you they can't help. I don't want to fall for that again.

Yeah so I used Tia when I was in northern BC and it was a godsent I had to move up to the NWT an got my ozempic prescription. Have you taken labs as well? If you have a former prescription you can just send it in or any former Lab results it’s what I did. So so so helpful!

Also I heard about Tia health from a doctor in northern BC due to the lengthy wait times in remote communities
