How your transfer works.
Tell us what you take
Share your medication, dose and current prescriber so we can understand your care.
Review your care together
Moving controlled prescribing to Avora includes a video visit before a new prescription is considered.
Arrange your delivery
Shipping is included on your monthly plan. Controlled medication needs a signature on delivery.
Care continues after the prescription.
Clinician-led safety checks
Your monthly care includes reviews of side effects and medication use, with support for any concerns.
Check in each week
Share symptoms, side effects and mood. Each month, add a fuller look at sleep and daily life.
Your prescriber reviews
They follow how you feel over time, alongside your treatment.
You have a next step
Your clinician decides whether to continue, adjust treatment or arrange a visit.
Message your care team between check-ins when you have a concern.
Choose what you want to transfer

Questions you may have.
Can I transfer a controlled prescription?
A pharmacist can review a transfer between pharmacies. To move your prescribing to Avora, a clinician must review your care by video before considering a new prescription. Eligibility depends on current requirements.
Do I have to leave my current prescriber?
You can keep your prescriber if you only want to change pharmacies. Moving your ongoing care to Avora is a separate choice.
What if I don't have a prescription yet?
Start by exploring our care options. An ADHD assessment or questions about another concern can help you connect with a clinician. Transfers are for prescriptions you already have.
What if your clinician disagrees with my dose?
Your clinician will explain any concerns and discuss changes with you first. If they can't continue your current treatment, they'll explain why and talk through next steps.
How does delivery work?
Delivery is free and tracked across Ontario. You can also have your prescription sent to your own pharmacy. Your Avora care fee stays the same.
Is it covered by OHIP?
Avora fees are paid privately. Your workplace or private plan may reimburse part of the cost. We can provide a receipt for you to check.
