ONTARIO PHARMACISTS ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH ON COVID-19 RESPONSE TO ENSURE CONTINUED ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS FOR ALL ONTARIANS

Notice: Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) Program Changes and Guidance for Dispensers during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency
March 20, 2020
As the Government of Ontario continues to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Ministry of Health is recommending changes to ensure the safety of Ontarians, pharmacists and dispensing physicians. Effective immediately:
Days Supply and Early Refills
To lessen the risk of drug shortages that could result from increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ministry is providing the following information to pharmacists and dispensing physicians.
• In order to protect drug supply and ensure that sufficient medication will be available for all Ontarians, the Ministry of Health is recommending pharmacists and dispensing physicians dispense no more than a 30-days’ supply of ODB eligible medications. Dispensers may use professional judgment to provide a longer days’ supply in exceptional cases with appropriate documentation. The supply should not exceed the usual supply for the patient.
• Pharmacy staff and dispensing physicians should reassure patients that stockpiling is not necessary. Measures to limit the quantity of medications received at one time will help ensure that all Ontarians have access to the medications they need.
• Pharmacies and dispensing physicians should manage their inventory to avoid stockpiling, lessening the risk that other pharmacies will not be able to provide medications to their patients.
• The ministry’s policy for refilling a prescription for an ODB recipient is no more than ten days in advance of depleting their current supply. In exceptional cases where there is a clinical reason to refill a prescription early, the pharmacist or dispensing physician, using their professional judgement may provide a refill and document the reason.
