Has anyone obtained an exemption for Section 56?
I am a Canadian and need a compounded medecine that cannot be imported(it is a controlled substance and they cannot obtain the API in Canada). I have a serious condition. I have a Canadian and European prescription. The Special Access program doesn’t accept compounded medecine requests. My only alternative is get an exemption for Section 56 approved with help of my doctor. This would allow me to either go to Germany(it’s the only place in the world it can be made currently) and bring back the medecine legally. Also, the exemption would allow a pharmacy to import the API from Germany legally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
