By Gord Wiebe A University of Saskatchewan clinical resource developed for pharmacists is growing in popularity. Since last September, a number of Canadian pharmacy schools, professional associations, and private companies have been paying licensing fees to USask to use a set of 27 prescribing guidelines. It was created and maintained by medSask, a drug information service for Saskatchewan health-care professionals and residents located in USask’s College of Pharmacy and Nutrition. The guidelines are a comprehensive resource for pharmacists designed to help them decide whether, and what, to prescribe for minor conditions and self-care conditions ranging from acne and cold sores, to urinary tract infections and hormonal contraception.
