Naturopathic doctors gaining new powers to prescribe medications
Naturopathic doctors in British Columbia are celebrating legislative gains that will allow them to prescribe drugs as well as natural products. The government passed legislation allowing naturopathic practitioners to prescribe Schedule I medications, which include basic primary care drugs such as antibiotics. In addition, qualified naturopaths will be able to prescribe hormones, botanicals, high-dose vitamins, amino acids and other natural substances they have traditionally used in their practices. The changes will mean that if a naturopath has a patient with acute pneumonia, for example, he will be able to prescribe an appropriate antibiotic instead of sending the patient to their family doctor. "It will allow for more streamlined health care," says Christoff Kind, president of the British Columbia Naturopathic Association.
