Allowable medications

Post by JAG »

Found this online. I realize it's not a Canadian reference, but it's a great guideline for medications that may - or may NOT- be acceptable.

I have seen your link.Allowable medication list is last updated on the date 4-02-2010.Pilot Medical Solutions did a fantastic job.This list is being very useful to those people who don't know which medications are allowed and not allowed.

It is dangerous for Canadians to follow that list. For instance, the list shows some acceptable SSRI's, but these were only FAA approved very recently (I read about it here on Avcanada), and there's been no indication Canada has followed suit.

Agreed. That's why the disclaimer that it's FAA approved (not TC). I've been looking for something similar for here, but haven't found anything.

This is just a guideline, it in no way absolves a person from asking their AME what's allowed.
