🔔 Some good news to round out the year

Starting October 1, 2026, will be allowed to substitute one controlled substance for another (therapeutic substitution), where permitted by provincial or territorial regulation.

CPhA has long advocated for therapeutic substitution of controlled substances—a critical tool that will help pharmacists better navigate drug shortages and support quality patient care.

Recent shortages of medications such as acetaminophen with codeine or oxycodone highlight why this flexibility matters. It would allow pharmacists to respond more quickly, reduce delays, and help ensure continuity of care for patients.

The amendments to the Controlled Substances Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II: https://ow.ly/fN9m50XLtrR
