Prescribing (APA)

In Alberta, Rexall Pharmacists are here to support you with convenient prescription services.* Pharmacists with the APA (Additional Prescribing Authorization) designation can write prescriptions based on assessment, for most medications except narcotic, controlled and targeted medications. Before the Pharmacist and patient agree that a prescription is an appropriate option, the patient must undergo an assessment. When conducting the assessment, the Pharmacist will require patient information including but not limited to patient medical history, medication history, allergies, and other information relevant to the patient and situation.
