Health Minister Jason Copping says working with a Turkish pharmaceutical company on labelling, childproof caps and proper documentation is the reason for the holdup
Mr. Copping said working with the supplier on labelling, childproof caps and proper documentation is the reason for the holdup.
Scott Johnston, press secretary to Mr. Copping, said in an additional statement that labelling for children’s liquid acetaminophen has now been approved and the manufacturer has begun the necessary work to package and ship 750,000 bottles of the drug. The outstanding four million bottles are three million acetaminophen and one million ibuprofen.
“Health Canada has also approved the government’s plan to import Pedifen-brand children’s ibuprofen for sale by pharmacies and for hospital use. After final approval of the label is provided by Health Canada, a delivery date will be established.” Alberta had to purchase the minimum amount of product set by the supplier and paid a “small premium” over the planned retail price. The province declined to provide details on the total cost of the deal despite repeated requests from The Globe and Mail. Mr. Johnston said final costs will be determined once the process is complete.
