Summary
Anabolic steroids in Canada are controlled under Schedule IV of the CDSA, not the Narcotic Control Regulations. In Ontario, prescribers must retain records for 10 years and report any loss or theft to Health Canada. The CDSA and RHPA govern these rules, with specific sections like Section 11 and 55 of the CDSA addressing administration and enforcement. The RHPA does not have a specific section for controlled substances; guidelines are set by regulatory colleges. Nurse Practitioners follow similar guidelines under the College of Nurses of Ontario. Part G of the Food and Drug Regulations requires prescribers to maintain records for 2 years and report any prescription issues.Full Conversation
