BC Restricts Safer Supply, Promises Pharmacy Crackdown

from The Tyee: Audio Edition · host The Tyee

B.C. is restricting its safer supply program so that all patients have to be witnessed by a pharmacist while they consume their medication. “Basically this kills prescribed alternatives and I think that’s really dangerous,” said Amber Streukens, program co-ordinator for the Rural Empowered Drug Users Network. Michelle Gamage is The Tyee’s health reporter. Published on Feb. 21, 2025. https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/02/21/BC-Restricts-Safer-Supply-Pharmacy-Crackdown/
