The purpose of this Notice of Consultation is to provide an opportunity to comment on the proposal to revise the listing for Omeprazole on the Prescription Drug List (PDL). Only the Human PDL is proposed to be revised and not omeprazole for Veterinary use. Health Canada has conducted a scientific review of omeprazole against the set of criteria outlined in section C.01.040.3 of the Food and Drug Regulations.
A document has also been created to explain some of the changes to the new Prescription Drug List and the administrative process for assigning prescription status.
