Why Canadians love Maple
All the walk-in clinics are booked in my city for days. Can’t even get a phone consultation. Signed up and communicated with a doctor almost immediately. Within an hour I had a prescription waiting at my local pharmacy. Great service.
This app was very quick and helpful to me in getting the prescription that I needed… Doctors are professional and helpful, no wait time and sent prescription right to my pharmacy!
Signed up at 12:08 pm. Needed to get a prescription for an ongoing medical situation and my family doc was booked up. Had my prescription faxed to the pharmacy by 12:43 pm… Incredible.
What an amazing experience! It took me 30 mins to get everything sorted and get my prescription sent to the pharmacy! Amazing!!
For a simple prescription refill, this app was fantastic. Fast, efficient, and the Dr. was incredibly helpful. I’d pick this method vs going in person any day.

Before we tell you more
Please confirm your patient status to make sure we're sharing information that's right for you.
About Finasteride
Finasteride is a prescription medication. A Canadian-licensed doctor or nurse practitioner can explain what it may be used for and how it works during your visit, and if it's appropriate for you based on your health history.
Yes. Finasteride is a prescription medication in Canada, so it isn't available over the counter. A Canadian-licensed doctor or nurse practitioner needs to review your information before prescribing it. If they do, we'll send it to your pharmacy or deliver it to your door for free.
Often, yes. A Canadian-licensed doctor or nurse practitioner can review your health history and current medications during a visit via secure text, audio or video call. If appropriate, they may prescribe finasteride at their discretion.
Some people notice sexual side effects, like lower sex drive, trouble getting an erection or less ejaculate. Mood changes, including depression, have also been reported. Tell your practitioner about any changes in your mood or sexual health.
Finasteride isn't for women or children. People who are pregnant or could become pregnant shouldn't handle crushed or broken tablets, because the medication can be absorbed through the skin. Share your full medical history with your practitioner, including any liver problems.
Yes. Finasteride can lower PSA levels, a blood test used in prostate cancer screening. Let any practitioner ordering a PSA test know that you take finasteride.
Often, yes. A Canadian-licensed doctor or nurse practitioner will review your information before renewing any prescription. Renewals aren't automatic, and the practitioner may ask follow-up questions about side effects or how your treatment is going before deciding if a renewal is appropriate.
If a practitioner prescribes finasteride, we'll send it to your pharmacy for same-day pickup or deliver it to your door for free. Delivery is available anywhere in Canada in one to three business days.
Talk to a practitioner before you take finasteride for the first time. Check in again any time your health changes, including new medications, new medical concerns, mood changes or unexpected side effects. A practitioner will review your information and decide whether finasteride is appropriate for you.
