    The change to open listing on the NL Prescription Drug Program reduces the administrative burden of prescribers by eliminating the special authorization process that had been in place.

    Government is expanding prescription coverage for long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMAs) inhalers, used in the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

This will ensure NLPDP beneficiaries have timely access to these inhalers for the treatment of their COPD.
