Get a citalopram prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It helps restore the balance of serotonin in the brain. Citalopram is sold under the brand name Celexa.

Citalopram is used to treat depression, to improve mood, energy, and feelings of well-being that are affected by depression.

Citalopram is typically taken by mouth, either as a tablet or a liquid, once a day with or without food as directed by a doctor. If you’re using the liquid version of citalopram, make sure you always use the special measuring device to get the correct dose. Your doctor may have you start on a low dose and gradually increase it in order to avoid side effects.

Common side effects of citalopram include:

• Nausea
• Dry mouth
• Decreased appetite
• Drowsiness or fatigue
• Insomnia
• Sexual dysfunction, prolonged erections
• Sweating
• Blurred vision
• Loss of concentration

Do not take this medication if you are taking other SSRIs. Do not take citalopram if you’ve taken an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. Citalopram can cause QT prolongation and should not be used if you have medical conditions or take drugs that cause QT prolongation, or if you have a history of heart problems.

If you have any questions about the medication, you can speak to a doctor on Maple by registering for an account.

Citalopram does expire. Always follow expiry dates listed on the prescription bottle or the pharmacy label to determine if the medication is still effective. If there is no expiry listed, the FDA considers citalopram expired one year from the date it is dispensed. This is the longest period of time that the manufacturer can guarantee its potency and effectiveness.
