We founded Pocketpills as a solution to fix the broken system that made getting care harder than it needed to be.

Powered by pharmacists, engineers, doctors, clinicians & service experts, our platform redefines the world of wellness, from personalized treatment that actually feels personal, to truly effortless refills, including free, friendly delivery. Because we do believe Canadians deserve a better way to manage their most important asset, their health.
