Below is newest medication update, showing which medications are approved in which provinces. Please note that Abilify (aripiprazole) has been added as it has received a Notice of Compliance from Health Canada. Abilify is a relatively new antipsychotic that’s been available in the U.S. for a couple of years, but until recently the makers hadn’t applied for approval in Canada. We will continue to track it through the Canadian Drug Review.
