Get an Aviane prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Aviane is a combination hormone medication that is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. It works mainly by preventing ovulation and preventing sperm from reaching an egg (should one be released), and stopping fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterus.

This medication can also be used to treat acne, regulate the menstrual cycle, decrease blood loss and painful periods, and reduce the risk of ovarian cysts. Aviane will not protect the user from STDs or STIs.

Aviane should be taken by mouth at the same time each day with or without food, as directed by a doctor. Start with the first tablet in the pack and take them in the correct order as the active tablets vary at different times in the cycle. Aviane comes in a 21-pack or 28-pack.

21-day pack: Take the 21 active pills in order, daily. After taking the last active pill, do not take any tablets for 7 days unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

28-day pack: Take the 21 active pills in order, daily. Then take the inactive pills once daily for 7 days in a row. After taking the last inactive pill, you may start the active pill in the new pack and repeat the process.

Only one tablet should be taken daily. If you did not get your period, consult your doctor. If this is the first time using the medication, additional forms of non-hormonal birth control should be used in the first 7 days to prevent pregnancy.

hen taking Aviane, the following symptoms may occur:

• Nausea, vomiting
• Headache
• Bloating, swelling of ankles/feet, weight gain
• Breast tenderness
• Vaginal bleeding between periods
• Missed and/or irregular periods
• Increased risk of blood clots
• Increased risk of some hormone dependent tumours

There is no prescribed method for going off Aviane — the user may stop at any time they wish. After the user stops taking birth control, their body and menstrual cycle will need some time to adjust, leading to symptoms such as spotting or bleeding between your periods. There may also be some irregular periods for a few months but the cycle should return to how it was before the medication was taken.

Aviane should not be taken if the user has uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, circulation problems, unexplained vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, or if the individual takes certain hepatitis C medication, smokes, and is over 35. Aviane should not be taken when pregnant.
