We help Canadians find the savings card behind their brand-name prescription.

Our mission

Prescription costs are one of the more avoidable financial stresses in Canadian healthcare. When a doctor prescribes a brand-name medication and a patient's plan doesn't fully cover it, many people either pay the difference out of pocket or quietly switch to a generic they weren't necessarily expecting to. Manufacturer savings cards exist specifically to close that gap, but they're scattered across dozens of separate program websites with no common index. BrandRx.ca exists to be that index: one place to check whether a card exists for your medication before you decide how to pay for it.

What we actually do

We maintain a directory linking to manufacturer and third-party savings programs — primarily innoviCares and RxHelp — and we write plain-language explainers about how these programs work, how they interact with provincial and private insurance, and what to watch for when you use one at the pharmacy. We don't run the savings programs ourselves, and we don't process any prescriptions or payments. Registration and eligibility are handled entirely by the manufacturer's own program.

What we don't do

• We don't collect or store any health information. Looking up a medication on this site doesn't require an account.
• We don't guarantee that a card will cover any specific amount — coverage terms are set by the manufacturer and can change without notice.
• We don't provide medical advice. Whether a brand-name medication is right for you is a decision for you and your prescriber.

How we choose what to list

We add a medication to our directory when a manufacturer or a recognized third-party program (such as innoviCares or RxHelp) publicly lists an active Canadian savings offer for it. We periodically review listings and remove or flag ones that appear to have expired. If you notice a listing that's out of date, please let us know — we rely on reader reports as much as our own checks.

How the site is funded

BrandRx.ca is supported by display advertising. We do not receive payment from pharmaceutical manufacturers or from innoviCares or RxHelp to list or rank any medication, and advertising has no influence over which cards we cover or how we describe them.
