**Consent Form Terms**
Antidote Health Clinic is a doctor-led clinic where physicians have the autonomy to prescribe what they deem clinically appropriate for their patients. Once a medication has been prescribed, it cannot be altered unless the patient experiences a clinically significant adverse reaction to the prescribed medication. In such cases, the patient must provide valid supporting documentation for the doctor to consider changing the prescription.
Patients who are currently on Methadone, Suboxone, or any Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) medication will not be eligible for prescriptions from Antidote Health Clinic. Furthermore, any patient found misusing medical cannabis medications will be immediately banned from the clinic and will no longer receive any prescriptions or services.
A $59 fee is applicable for patients who wish to change their prescription without having experienced any clinical adverse reaction to the medication.
