About the e-CPS and RxTx app

CPS The Canadian standard for drug monographs

The Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties (CPS) is a resource for hundreds of drug monographs, approved by Health Canada and reviewed by editors from the  Canadian Pharmacists Association. It contains information on drugs, vaccines, natural health and medical devices. Digital content is updated weekly and includes advisories from Health Canada. Additionally, there is a Product Identification Tool using photos.

RxTx is the name used by the Canadian Pharmacists Association for their e-Therapeutics subscription package. Northern Health has a subscription for the CPS portion of this package. Staff and physicians can now access the CPS module on smart phones and tablets by using the RxTx app.
