Health Canada Notices of Restriction
Health Canada’s List of Restricted Health Care Practitioners and Pharmacists Named in a Notice of Restriction is a filterable database that is updated four times a year. The list represents the licensed health care practitioners and pharmacists who have been restricted from having narcotics, controlled drugs, and/or targeted substances sold or provided to them, except when dispensed to them as patients themselves, and whose restrictions are published on the relevant professional provincial or territorial licensing authority’s website.
Please note that the list does not represent a complete listing of all notices of restriction currently in effect but is intended to provide interested parties timely access to information on new restrictions online and allow regulated parties to better comply with regulatory requirements.
