Drug Warnings
Because of bad drug policies, there are a lot of toxic drugs out there. The National Drug Alert System (NDAS), created by the St. John Ambulance (SJA), is the most comprehensive and up to date Canadian database of drug warnings.
We are an official partner of the SJA National Drug Alert System, which means that SUNAR can submit drug warnings to be added to their database. If you know about any toxic, tainted, laced or mislabeled drugs, let the rest of us know by filling out an anonymous bad drug report. We will pass it along to the NDAS and we will share the warning below as well.
