How to access Lexidrug

Option A: Network Computer Access

  1. Click on the tile Lexidrug on your region’s Shortcuts home page.
  2. Users may directly access Lexidrug by visiting the Lexidrug login page.
  3. WRHA and HSC staff can continue to access Lexidrug via the WRHA Virtual Library.

Option B: Remote Access/Personal Device Access via Shared Credentials

To access Lexidrug from a remote or personal device, users may use the following credentials if prompted during the log-in process:

  • Username: Shared_Health26
  • Password: lexidrug26

Notes: The vendor noted that the Option B log-in details should be valid until the end of 2026. The shared credentials should only be used by employees or physicians at government-operated healthcare facilities in Manitoba.

Option C: Remote Access/Personal Device Access by contacting the vendor, Wolters Kluwer (WK), directly for VPN-specific IP activation of individual user accounts (with support from Service Desk)

Note: Option C is the long-term (preferred solution) for remote access/personal device access since Option B credentials expire at the end of 2026.

After WK completes the VPN-specific IP activation, users may need to clear their browser cache and reconnect to the VPN before re-attempting access.
