Is it available? Yes.
Is it a prescription drug? Yes.
Are you gonna find it at your pharmacy? No. Your provincial government controls the distribution of the medication and can only be accessed via dedicated dispensing points.

You can't go in to get it yourself. A doctor has to recommend it and make the arrangements to get it. It is good for 5 days during a diagnosis of COVID infection. After 5 days, it's not effective.
