MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - November 18, 2022 - Can’t find kids’ liquid pain medications? Speak to your pharmacist about:

 

1. Alternative formats of medications:

   Including suppositories, crushed tablets, or cut tablets.

2. Repackaging bulk stock bottles into smaller packages:

   A prescription is not necessary for over-the-counter formulations of these products.

3. Compounding Medications:

   Some pharmacies in your province can compound these medications into a liquid format for you. Rexall pharmacies in Ontario can provide you this service within 24-48 hours and a prescription is not required.
