Medicine Hat, AB–Health Minister Jason Copping provided a brief update on Wednesday on efforts to secure more children’s medication for Albertans.

Copping says the large supply recently secured from overseas has been going through federal regulatory approvals over the past couple of weeks.

Copping says that process is almost complete and he hopes to confirm in the next few days final approval from Health Canada on the medication.

Once that approval has been given, Copping says they will have a better idea on when those medications will be available on store shelves.
