Does CPSA regulate the use of Ivermectin in Alberta?

No. Ivermectin, just like any regulated drug in Alberta, is regulated by the Minister of Health under the Pharmacy and Drug Act and by Health Canada. CPSA’s role in prescribing any medication, including ivermectin, is to ensure that physicians are following the rules set by the Minister and by Health Canada. Physicians must also follow CPSA’s Standards of Practice.
