The Saskatchewan government says it is lifting supply limits on prescription drugs introduced to guard against drug shortages during the coronavirus pandemic.
As of May 20, residents in the province with prescriptions for long-term medications will be allowed to fill those as was usual before the pandemic.
There are exceptions if a specific drug is in short supply. “As we navigate the unknowns presented by COVID-19, ensuring the availability of medications for all Saskatchewan residents is a priority,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “Today, the drug supply is in a more stable position due to the actions of pharmacists, patients and other stakeholders in response to the prescription limits.
