Opioid Warning Sticker and Patient Information Handout, and Risk Management Plans

Health Canada has identified the need for patients to receive clear information about the safe use of opioids and the risks associated with their use. As such, requirements have been added, under the Food and Drug Regulations, for a warning sticker and patient information handout to be provided with all prescription opioids that appear in Part A of the “List of Opioids”, at the time of dispensing.
