Register and link your Active Script List

An Active Script List (ASL) is a digital list of your electronic prescriptions and barcoded paper prescriptions. It is a convenient option if you take multiple medications.

Once registered through a pharmacy, you no longer need to keep track of each electronic prescription. Having an ASL means you can walk into a participating pharmacy, give consent for staff to access your list, and have that pharmacy dispense your medicines.

If your healthcare provider has given you a barcoded paper prescription instead of an electronic prescription, you'll still need to bring the paper copy to the pharmacy as it is legally required for pharmacists to supply your medicine.
