Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

BCCDC Prescription-Only Support

Effective October 31, 2026, Provincial TB Services will transition prescription renewals and medication dispensing for patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease to community-based care. Prescribing and ongoing management of NTM treatment will be provided by the patient's treating provider, with medications dispensed through community pharmacies.  

Providers, pharmacies, or local public health units reordering NTM medications for patients currently receiving NTM medications through BCCDC Pharmacy should include a completed TB Adherence and Medication Re-order Form​ to receive a final three-month supply through BCCDC Pharmacy. Requests should be submitted before October 31,2026. Following this transition, medications will be available through community pharmacies.​​ ​
