Guidelines

Acute and chronic treatments go beyond health conditions. They also apply to many of the activities throughout life. People who bring an acute mentality to their physical fitness will likely not experience the same results as those who bring a chronic mindset to the same situation. How does this relate to pharmacy practice? A prime example is in the area of medication adherence.

Health Canada has ruled that as of this week, nicotine pouches (Zonnic) will only be allowed to be sold from behind the pharmacy counter. Similar to Schedule II drugs, only a pharmacist or a dispensary staff supervised by a pharmacist may sell the pouches.
