Are aceteminophen and ibuprofen covered by the RAMQ for those under 18? Can you write a free prescription on site?

Hello Madam,

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are covered by the Quebec drug insurance plan. Regarding their prescription, with the introduction of Bill 31, the pharmacist is able to prescribe over-the-counter medications based on a pharmaceutical evaluation. I therefore invite you to consult your family pharmacist, you could benefit from prescribing these drugs.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions!

Happy day,

Kenza Rais, pharmacy intern
