📣Free contraception in BC starting April 1st!
Questions on what's covered, check out this link for a pretty good overview of the program: https://t.co/UjdT5dCeZP
(Also if you pay for birth control, and are due for a refill, only get 1 month now, then it will be free next month)

Great news, especially for those without access to family physicians or nurse practitioners.

We were pleased to host the announcement of cervix self-screening in BC today! As of Jan. 29, women & people with a cervix can order a quick, easy & highly accurate test kit to use when & where they feel comfortable, including in a provider’s office. More: https://t.co/NeH2vVjyQo

I really appreciate the new carving that is now featured along the rail trail! Great to see some thinking outside of the box by the @cityofkelowna to get more art into the community.

@DavidJuurlink Compounded by new combination products like "Advil (plus acetaminophen)" in small print so patients buy it thinking they have ibuprofen only and then combine it with Tylenol because they were told to take Advil and Tylenol together.

@ClareRustad Thanks for some good women's content! I wish there was video for the whole podcast though!

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

@CridgeJason There are still stations with attendants?

📢Big Pharmacare news, OAT meds now fully covered!

"Opioid agonist treatment moves to Plan Z ... OAT regular benefits are now covered under the 100% coverage plans C, G and Z. ... Adding OAT to Plan Z improves access to opioid use disorder treatment as there is no deductible"

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

BC prescribers, please remember that Lolo is NOT a Pharmacare benefit (along with Nuvaring, Evra, and Seasonale).

Tip: sub Seasonale with 4x 21day MinOvral pks with a week break and you now have the same estrgen/progestin that's covered by Pharmacare.

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

@kalliopharm Interesting ... although access to this drug is so bad that I've never dispensed it.

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

More great BC Pharmacare news: naltrexone and acamprosate no longer require special authority or collaborative prescribing agreements!!

There is an amoxicillin suspension shortage in Canada. The easiest option is to dose in 250mg increments when suitable, and the capsules can be opened and sprinkled onto soft food. Clavulin is another option, but more nuanced, see below if that is your prescribing preference.

@kelownacycler Sorry to hear this devastating news. Thanks for all you've done, but your family is the most important. Hoping they'll be back on the bike after this fight!

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

@TheFrustratedP1 I thought the same thing 🤯

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

@desertchase Every time I fill an Rx for Tramadol I want to forward the prescriber this from @DavidJuurlink : https://t.co/tu9PjGns9s
Every. Single. Time.

[Wendy Jansen @JansenWendy]

For all the BC OAT prescribers out there: in case you missed it, Sublocade no longer requires a special authority!
