Whether ADHD medication follow-up can happen by video, or whether you need to be seen in person, depends on provincial college virtual-care rules, controlled-drug standards, and the clinician’s licence, not on a single Canada-wide product preference. Video follow-up may be allowed. Physicians generally must be licensed in the jurisdiction where the patient is located, and cross-province prescribing is often not straightforward. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
