How our QDoctors Can Help
Write Prescriptions
Once you have been seen, our medical doctors can prescribe non-controlled medications suitable for your treatment within the proper practice guidelines. Our virtual doctors in Manitoba cannot prescribe the following controlled medications due to virtual health guidelines.
If you need the following medications, please contact your family doctor or an in-person health facility:
Opioids
- morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, oxycodone, codeine, tramadol, or methadone.
Medications that contain these drugs
- Tylenol #3s, Tramacet, Percocet, Suboxone, etc.
Benzodiazepines
- lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), etc.
Z-Drugs
- zopiclone (Imovane) or zolpidem (Sublinox).
Cannabis
Once your prescription is confirmed, you can request that your doctor sends it to your preferred pharmacy. They will then send it to be filled. However, please note that QDoc will not contact you when the prescription is ready for pickup. You can call your pharmacy to inquire about its status or wait for them to contact you.
Order Lab Requisitions
Our QDoctors can order lab tests for you, and you can take the requisition to the lab of your choice. The requisition will be sent to your patient profile, where you can view it and print it without leaving the comfort of your home.
No printer? No problem! You can contact our administration phone line, and we will be happy to send it to the lab of your choice.
After your lab tests are completed and reviewed, you can access the results through the “view results” feature on your patient card. To ensure privacy, you will need to enter the verification code sent to your phone before accessing the results.
Write Doctors notes
If you require a sick note but prefer to stay in bed, our virtual doctors are here to assist you. When you request a sick note during your virtual visit with QDoc, the doctor will write it for you and upload it to your patient card. You can then easily download the note and send it to anyone needing it.
Send Referrals
While our QDoctors excel at providing virtual care, we recognize that certain aspects of medical care require in-person attention. Our QDoctors know that second opinions, consultations, and additional tests might be necessary. They will gladly facilitate the process by sending referrals.
The QDoctors can connect you to various medical specialists to ensure you receive the proper care. Whether you require diagnostic imaging or need to consult with a specialist, QDoc is here to assist you in taking those necessary steps.

From prescribing non-controlled medications to ordering lab tests and providing sick notes, QDoctors provide access to care while helping you bypass the emergency department and access the best possible healthcare when you can’t access your family physician.
