Drug and Substance Consultation Submission

The College of Naturopaths of Ontario has instituted a new process for Registrants and stakeholders to provide input into the five tables contained in the General Regulation. These tables establish the substances and drugs that an ND may administer by inhalation or injection or that they may prescribe, dispense, compound or sell.


It is the College's responsibility to seek an amendment to these tables in the Regulation when the substances or drugs become unavailable, the proper dosages change or new more effective ones become the proper treatment protocol.


The College does not oversee changes to the scope of practice of the profession. Advocating in this area falls within the work of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors. Any submissions for new drugs that will be considered an expansion of scope will be forwarded to the OAND for review and action. Should the OAND be successful in have an alteration in scope, the College will receive direction from the Minister to consider new drugs at which time we will work with the OAND to collect the necessary information to see a regulation change.
