List of restricted health care practitioners and pharmacists named in a notice of restriction

Some licensed health care practitioners and pharmacists in Canada have been restricted from having narcotics, controlled drugs and/or targeted substances sold or provided to them, except when dispensed to them as patients themselves. This list represents the licensed health care practitioners and pharmacists whose restrictions are published on the relevant professional provincial or territorial licensing authority's website. It is not a complete list of all individuals named in a notice of restriction.

Licensed health care practitioners and pharmacists may be restricted because they:

• have been convicted of a drug offence under the Criminal Code
• have violated a rule of conduct established by the provincial or territorial professional licensing authority or
• no longer wish to prescribe or dispense controlled drugs, narcotics and/or targeted substances

The relevant professional provincial or territorial licensing authority sends requests to Health Canada to have these individuals named in a notice of restriction.

The Minister of Health has restricted these individuals in accordance with the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and its associated regulations. Questions about the publishing of this list may be sent by email to compliance-conformite@hc-sc.gc.ca.

The list of restricted practitioners and pharmacists is updated periodically. You can also access and download a PDF version of the list.

Please refer to the relevant professional provincial or territorial licensing authority website for the most up to date information on restrictions. For more information in this regard, please contact the provincial or territorial professional licensing authority directly.
