CADDRA's medication chart is organized around ADHD products available in Canada, which is useful because the United States market includes names and formulations that are not sold here. CADDRA is a Canadian professional association, not Health Canada and not a public insurer, so the chart is a clinical reference rather than an approval list or a PharmaCare formulary. A product discussed in a US forum may be unavailable, named differently, or funded under completely different rules in British Columbia. Coverage varies by province. Coverage varies by insurance plan.
Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.
