Common questions
Can I get something to help me focus, or study, or work longer?
This service assesses persistent sleepiness. Medication isn't offered to extend work or study time. If attention is the concern, explore the ADHD assessment.
What if I think I have sleep apnea?
Say so in your answers. Your clinician can refer you for a sleep study. Avora does not carry them out.
Can I ask about sleepiness from night shifts?
Yes. Share your work and sleep schedule, including days off.
What if I need more support?
Your clinician can recommend further care. Any additional review is included in the same review, at no extra charge.
What if I think ADHD is part of it?
Say so in your answers. Your clinician can help you decide whether the ADHD assessment is a useful next step.
How does delivery work?
Pick up at the partner pharmacy, or have a courier bring it. A courier needs someone 18 or older to sign at the door. There is no advance waiver.
Who delivers?
Where the pharmacy has its own driver, it delivers in that area. Canada Post is not used for controlled medications.
Can I pick the day?
You choose the delivery day. We remind you the evening before.
How fast do you reply?
Within the window shown on your request: up to 2 business days for a clinical review, 1 business day for a question, 3 business days for delivery or funding. Not around the clock.
Is it covered by OHIP?
Avora fees are paid privately, not covered by OHIP. Your workplace or private plan may reimburse part of it.
