Prescription status in Canada
Canada classifies medications as Schedule I (prescription), II (pharmacist-only OTC), III (open OTC) or unscheduled, with provincial variation. Provincial drug plans cover prescription costs at varying rates. Femalegra contains the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate, in the Women's Sexual Health class, and its classification in Canada follows the standard rules of Health Canada.
Pharmacy dispensing
Canadian pharmacies (Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, London Drugs and many independents) are licensed provincially, and pharmacists in several provinces can prescribe for minor ailments. The pharmacist is the most reliable local source of information on stock, authorised substitutions (generic vs brand) and specific precautions for Femalegra at the available strengths (100mg).
Online and tele-prescribing access
Online pharmacy is regulated provincially in Canada; cross-border imports are restricted. Tele-prescribing platforms have expanded prescription access since 2020. Buying Femalegra from unauthorised sellers or without local verification exposes the user to counterfeit medication and unmonitored use of Sildenafil Citrate.
When Femalegra is prescribed

Pricing and availability in CAD
Retail pricing in Canada depends on the strength (100mg), whether the original brand or an authorised generic is dispensed, and insurance or public-system coverage. The difference between brand and generic is usually the most meaningful economic lever for ongoing use. Comparing prices at two or more locally authorised pharmacies before first refill is recommended.
