How many consumer packages of low-dose codeine products may be sold per occasion?

The regulation surrounding the sale of low-dose codeine products is designed to ensure safe usage and prevent the potential for misuse or dependency. The correct limit set by Saskatchewan Pharmacy Law permits the sale of only one consumer package of low-dose codeine per occasion. This regulation helps to mitigate the risks associated with overuse and ensures that consumers are not easily able to stockpile these types of medications, which can lead to health risks or misuse.

This limitation is crucial in promoting responsible pharmacy practices and safeguarding public health, as low-dose codeine products can still carry the risk of addiction or adverse effects even at lower doses. By restricting the number of packages that can be sold, the law aims to balance access for patients needing analgesic relief while protecting them from the potential consequences of misuse.
