Tell us a new prescription is coming and we set up your file ahead of time, so it is ready the moment it arrives. Your prescriber still faxes it, or you bring the paper copy in; this just gets you started with no wait.
Murray Shore Pharmacy fills new prescriptions for North York and Thornhill from our dispensary at Bathurst and Baycrest. Have your doctor fax it to 416-789-2958, bring the paper copy to 3537 Bathurst St, or call us at 416-789-1800. A pharmacist reviews it, we call you, and you pick it up or we deliver it free.
Online starts your file. Your prescriber still faxes the prescription to 416-789-2958, or you bring the paper copy in.

Most common
Give your doctor's office our fax number, 416-789-2958, and the prescription comes straight to our dispensary. Most new prescriptions arrive this way, often before you have left the clinic.
Hand the paper prescription to us at the counter, 3537 Bathurst St at Baycrest. If it is your first visit, the checklist below makes it a five-minute stop.

When it arrives
The pharmacist reviews the prescription: the dose, how it fits with everything else you take, and how your plan covers it.
If anything needs checking
We call your doctor directly, a question about the dose, the quantity, or coverage, so you are not the go-between.
When it is ready
We call you. Pick it up at the counter, or ask for free delivery across North York and Thornhill, and the pharmacist walks you through the new medication either way.
New medication comes with a real conversation, not just a bag and a stapled leaflet. How to take it, what to expect, what to watch for, and what to do if something feels off.
Forgot something? Come anyway. We can fill the gaps by phone afterwards; nothing here should stand between you and starting your medication.
Call us at 416-789-1800 and we will check while you are on the line. If it has not arrived, we can contact the clinic ourselves and confirm the fax number, so you are not stuck relaying messages between two offices.
Yes. Any prescriber in Ontario can send prescriptions to our fax, 416-789-2958. Faxed prescriptions must come directly from the prescriber's office, so give your doctor the number rather than faxing a copy yourself. Paper prescriptions you can always bring in by hand.
Three things: your Ontario health card, your insurance or benefits information, and a list of the medications you currently take, or the bottles themselves. With those, we build your file once and everything afterwards is simpler.
Yes. Once your plan details are on file we bill most drug plans directly, so you pay only whatever portion your plan leaves to you. If a new medication is not covered, we tell you before it is filled and talk through the options.
Yes. Delivery is free across North York and Thornhill. Because the medication is new to you, the pharmacist speaks with you first, by phone or at the counter, so you know how to take it, what to expect, and what to watch for. Then it goes to your door.
Yes, parents and caregivers do this every day. Bring their health card and insurance details along with the prescription, and we set up their file the same way. For a parent, ask us about blister packs and standing delivery while you are here; both make the months ahead easier.
Then you want a transfer rather than a new prescription, and it is even less work: one call and we move everything for you. See our transfer page, or call us. And once you are our patient, repeat medications are handled through refills, online, by phone, or in person.
Moving existing prescriptions from another pharmacy? That is a transfer. Reordering a medication you already fill with us? That is a refill.
Your pharmacist is one call away.
