ASOP Canada is a Chapter of ASOP Global (@BuySafeRx) united by a mission to create an environment that enables patients to buy their medicines online safely.
🚨The @US_FDA has approved Colorado's program to bulk-import prescription drugs from Canada. We have concerns about what this means for Canadian supply — and we still don't know which 20 drugs are on the approved list. Canadians need that list now so we can prepare. @GovCanHealth
CDN Govt & law enforcement have a role to play in ensuring online accountability w/ respect to illicit online drug sales. The Online Harms bill gives an opportunity to act before more innocent lives are tragically lost. @Safety_Canada@marcomendicino@CdnHeritage@pablorodriguez

“Canada’s pharmacists worry a lack of data about prescription management could see a repeat of the situation with diabetes and weight-loss drug Ozempic, in which thousands of doses have been mailed over the border to Americans.” https://t.co/KGZLiylf7p @adriandix#cdnpoli
PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT:
We believe that counterfeit oxycodone tablets may be in circulation across Windsor Essex. These fake pills were analyzed and found to contain fentanyl, which is extremely dangerous and potentially lethal.
Help us spread the word.
Images shared by Canadian police show the fentanyl pills resemble legitimate pharmaceuticals and were packaged in bottles bearing the labels of Teva Canada and Apotex Inc. — established drug manufacturers. https://t.co/1wXWHHlQb9
