How MedSpotter works

Find a specific medication in a pharmacy near you — and reserve it before you leave home.

Three steps

1
Search the medication
Type a brand or generic name. We show whether Health Canada currently reports a national shortage, including the tier.
2
See pharmacies near you
Share your location or enter a postal code. Each pharmacy card shows its stock status and a confidence score that fades as reports age.
3
Reserve your pickup time
At partner pharmacies, sign in and request the medication with a pickup day and time window. The pharmacy confirms or declines, and you're notified in the app.

Is it free?: Yes — MedSpotter is free for patients everywhere in Canada.
Is stock guaranteed?: No. Availability comes from Health Canada data, pharmacy updates and community reports. Always confirm with the pharmacy for urgent needs.
Do I need an account?: Searching is open to everyone. An account is only needed to report stock or reserve a medication.
