How UPGUYS Works

UPGUYS is a physician-led, online men's health platform.

1. Patients complete a no-cost online medical intake and symptom assessment.
2. They receive a no-cost telehealth consultation with licensed Canadian practitioners.
3. If clinically needed, a lab requisition is provided at no cost.
4. When medically appropriate, a prescription may be issued. Shipping of medication is at no cost, and patients only pay for the medication if prescribed.
5. Ongoing follow-up and monitoring are included.

Note: Not all patients are eligible for testosterone therapy, and eligibility is determined by the clinician.

Medications and Treatment Modalities

UPGUYS, leading in men's hormone therapy, focuses first on testosterone-related treatments. Clinicians may prescribe injectable testosterone (like cypionate or enanthate) or high-dose topical testosterone creams, as clinically appropriate. Adjunctive therapies, such as those supporting fertility or hormonal balance, may also be used. Additionally, UPGUYS addresses related categories: hair loss, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

The first phase (completing the online assessment, practitioner review, and initial blood work) typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. After lab results return, a Canadian-licensed practitioner reviews them and, if TRT is clinically appropriate, issues a prescription. A licensed Canadian pharmacist then calls the patient to explain the medication and confirm delivery. Shipping is free, discreet, and sent with signature required to addresses across Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.

UPRX Pharmacy (East) is located in Etobicoke, Ontario and is accredited by the Ontario College of Pharmacists (Accreditation Number 309322). Once a Canadian-licensed UPGUYS practitioner issues a prescription, it is sent directly to the UPRX pharmacy serving the patient's region.

Medication is dispensed in Canada, shipped at no cost in discreet packaging with signature required, and delivered to patients in the provinces and territories where each treatment is offered.
