Abstract
in English, French

Prescribing medicines containing controlled substances (SSC : narcotics and psychotropic substances) can have legal consequences as per the Road Traffic Act. We set forth the physician's duties as well as the risks incurred by the patient. We recommend that rules regarding SSC, which can influence the capacity or the ability to drive, be clarified.

Prescrire des médicaments contenant des substances soumises à contrôle (SSC : stupéfiants et substances psychotropes) peut avoir des conséquences en matière de circulation routière. Nous présentons ici les devoirs du médecin et les risques encourus par la personne en traitement, avant de plaider pour une clarification s’agissant de médicaments pouvant influer sur la capacité ou l’aptitude à la conduite.
