Health Canada considering making all codeine products prescription-only
Saskatchewan’s regulatory body for pharmacists is eyeing a ban on the sale of non-prescription codeine products in pharmacies.
Codeine is a narcotic found in pills and cough syrup used to relieve mild to moderate pain, according to a reference guide from the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals.
It can also be mixed with other medications to increase the effect of a drug for the user.
