PRESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS AND TRANSFER OF PRESCRIPTION
The Customer must have seen a doctor within the last 12 months and have received a valid prescription for the medication to be ordered, if the requested medication requires a prescription. For prescription requests originating outside the Province of British Columbia, Canada, you are required to provide ARCED PHARMAS™ a valid and original prescribing practitioner’s prescription by facsimile, upload onto our secured user website portal or electronic mail.

For prescription requests originating in the United States of America or Hong Kong, an ARCED PHARMAS™ associated Physician will review the valid and original U.S. or HK prescription, and patient’s medical information and, if appropriate, will issue a Canadian prescription. U.S. and HK pharmacies may not be able to transfer an existing prescription to ARCED PHARMAS™ so you may be required to request a new prescription from your provider.

ARCED PHARMAS™ can work directly with your doctor to facilitate the receipt of the prescription and/or rearrange refills when necessary.
