Emergency
If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, severe abdominal pain that does not go away, a serious allergic reaction or any other emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Information, not medical advice
EaseMove content is provided for general information only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace a consultation with a doctor, pharmacist, nurse practitioner, dietitian or physiotherapist who knows your situation.
Never start, change or stop a medication, such as a GLP-1, without talking to the person who prescribed it.
No dosages, no sales
We give no dosages, protocols or preparation instructions, and we neither sell nor recommend any seller of medications, peptides or supplements. When we discuss products not authorized in Canada, it is to explain what science and the law say, not to encourage their use.
When to call 811
In most provinces and territories, 811 connects you with a nurse or a health information service, free of charge and at any time. It is a good option if you have a side effect that worries you but is not an emergency, a doubt about a symptom, or if you are not sure whether you need to be seen. Your pharmacist can also answer many questions about your medications.
Physical activity
Before starting an exercise program, especially if you have a chronic condition, pain, an injury or are pregnant, talk to a health professional. Stop any exercise that causes sharp pain, dizziness or unusual shortness of breath.
Accuracy and external links
We check our information and cite our sources (see our methodology), but science and regulations change. Despite our efforts, some information may become outdated. Links to external sites are provided as references; we do not control their content.
