BC’s pharmacists can now diagnose and prescribe medications for minor ailments and contraception as allowed by new regulatory standards. This expansion of their scope of practice is a result of the education and training they have completed, coupled with the implementation of new regulatory standards. Prescriptions for conditions include acne, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, dysmenorrhea, fungal infections, gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, hemorrhoids, nicotine dependence, urinary tract infections, and more. The mandatory Regulatory Education Module has been developed for pharmacists to ensure their prescribing of medications is safe and effective.
