Can I provide a renewal for narcotic, controlled drug or targeted substance under PPP-58?

Yes, but only if permitted under a section 56 exemption to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The pharmacist may use their professional judgement to determine if they have the appropriate knowledge and if it is in the client’s best interest to provide an adapted renewal of a narcotic, controlled drug or targeted substance.

Renewals for narcotics, controlled drugs, or targeted substances must not exceed the prescription's expiry date and must not be for a duration longer than either the originally prescribed period or 30 days, whichever is greater.
