Your prescriptions. Your care. Made easier.
Thinking about switching pharmacies but worried it will be complicated? Here's the good news: transferring your prescriptions to WellnessRX Pharmacy in Bradford takes about five minutes of your time — and we handle everything else. No awkward phone calls to your old pharmacy, no paperwork, and no interruption to your medications.
Here's exactly how a prescription transfer works in Ontario, what you'll need, and what to expect once you make the switch.
Why Bradford Families Are Switching Pharmacies
More and more people in Bradford, Bond Head, and Innisfil are leaving the big chains for a different kind of pharmacy experience. The most common reasons we hear:
Long wait times and rushed service at high-volume chain locations
Wanting a pharmacist who knows them — not just a prescription number
Free local delivery right to their door
Access to both a pharmacist and a nutritionist under one roof, so medications, supplements, and lifestyle advice actually work together
At WellnessRX Pharmacy, our PharmD-led team takes the time to review your full medication and supplement picture — something that's especially important if you're managing multiple prescriptions.
What You Need Before You Transfer
Transferring is simple, and having these three things ready makes it even faster:
The name and location of your current pharmacy (e.g., "Shoppers Drug Mart on Holland Street")
Your medication names or prescription numbers — a photo of your medication labels works perfectly
Your health card and insurance information
That's it. You don't need to notify your old pharmacy — we contact them on your behalf.
How to Transfer Your Prescriptions: 3 Simple Steps
Step 1: Contact us
Choose whichever is easiest for you:
Start your prescription transfer online — it takes about two minutes
Call us at 905-775-7874
Visit us in person at 1-152 Holland St. East, Bradford (free parking, ground-level entry)
Step 2: We handle the transfer
Our pharmacist contacts your current pharmacy, verifies your prescriptions, confirms your insurance coverage, and transfers everything. Most transfers are completed within a few hours to one business day.
Step 3: Pick up or get free delivery
Once your prescriptions arrive, we'll let you know. Pick them up in-store, or take advantage of our free local delivery in Bradford ($ 75+) and the surrounding area. On your first fill, our pharmacist will review your medications with you, answer questions, and check for any interactions — including with the supplements you're taking.
How Long Does a Prescription Transfer Take in Ontario?
Most transfers are completed the same day, often within a few hours. If you need a medication urgently, tell us when you call — we can prioritize the transfer or contact your prescriber directly so you're never left without your medication.
Can All Prescriptions Be Transferred?
Most prescriptions transfer easily, including maintenance medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and more. There's one exception: under federal law, narcotic prescriptions can't be transferred between pharmacies in Canada. Don't worry — if you have one of these prescriptions, our pharmacist will reach out to your doctor to arrange a new prescription so nothing is missed. It's a routine process we manage all the time.
Does It Cost Anything to Transfer?
No. Prescription transfers are completely free, and switching pharmacies has no effect on your drug coverage — your Ontario Drug Benefit or private insurance works exactly the same at WellnessRX Pharmacy.
Transferring Prescriptions for Your Whole Family
Managing prescriptions for kids, parents, or grandparents? You can transfer everyone at once. Learn more about our family prescription transfer service — one call moves the whole household.
What Happens After You Transfer?
This is where switching to WellnessRX Pharmacy really pays off. As a patient, you get access to:
A free medication review (MedsCheck): Our pharmacist sits down with you to review all your medications and supplements together. Book your free medication review.
Minor ailment prescribing: Our pharmacist can assess and prescribe for common conditions like pink eye, UTIs, and cold sores — no doctor's appointment needed. See the full list on our minor ailment prescribing page.
Blister packaging: If you or a loved one takes multiple daily medications, our free blister packs organize everything by day and time.
Integrated nutrition support: With a pharmacist and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist under one roof, your medications, supplements, and nutrition plan finally work together instead of in silos.
