Under section 4(1)(a.2) of the Pharmacists Regulation, pharmacists can:
“for the purpose of treating a disease, disorder or condition diagnosed under paragraph (a.1), prescribe a drug that is
- specified in Schedule I of the Drug Schedules Regulation, and
- within a drug category shown opposite the disease, disorder or condition in Column 2 of Schedule A"
While there is no list of specific drugs that a pharmacist is limited to prescribing from for the purpose of treating a minor ailment, pharmacists must refer to Schedule A of the Pharmacists Regulation and are responsible for ensuring that the prescribed drug is included within the drug category corresponding to that condition and is appropriate for the patient and condition being treated.
