Next, you'll hear from the doctor
Once you’ve entered your symptoms, a doctor or nurse practitioner will review your case. If they’re able to help, your visit will start; if they can’t help, you’ll be notified before your consultation begins and you won’t be charged. You’re only charged if you speak with a Maple doctor.
Most often, you’ll speak to your doctor or nurse practitioner over text, though they may request audio or video chat if it’ll help with your diagnosis.
Get your medication
You'll get a prescription right on Maple, so you can send it to any pharmacy for pickup, or you can have it shipped with free delivery.
In some cases, a prescription won’t be recommended by the doctor. They will let you know if this is the case. Doctors may also not be able to prescribe some medications in certain provinces or regions.
Note: Maple is not a pharmaceutical manufacturer, nor are we an online pharmacy. This means you'll need to buy the medication from the pharmacy itself once you have your prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lo Loestrin Fe and how does it work?
Lo Loestrin Fe is a combination hormone medication, and is primarily used to prevent pregnancy. It does so by preventing the release of an egg during the menstrual cycle, making the vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg, and changing the lining of the uterus to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg.
Besides preventing pregnancy, these pills may make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease the risk of ovarian cysts, and also help treat acne. Lo Loestrin Fe will not prevent the spread of STIs/STDs. There is currently no generic version sold in Canada.
How do you use Lo Loestrin Fe?
Lo Loestrin Fe is taken by mouth once a day as directed by a doctor, with or without food. It is available as a tablet and comes in a pack containing 26 tablets with active medication and 2 reminder tablets with iron. The active tablets should be taken once daily before starting on the iron tablets, which should be taken once daily for the two remaining days.
Take the first tablet in the pack on the first Sunday following the beginning of your menstrual period or on the first day of your period.
