Transition to Lifestyles Condoms

Our current supplier Durex is unable to meet the volume demands of BC for lube and non-lube condoms and is no longer making flavored condoms. We will transition to Lifestyles condoms as warehouse supply of Durex finishes. Note that there are change in volumes for Durex flavored lubricated (1000/box) to the new Lifestyles flavored condoms (144/box). 

Change in Naloxone Formulation

The manufacturer is switching from tinted to clear ampoules. This change will not affect us for another 1-2 years since the naloxone in the current kits will not expire until fall 2014 or spring 2015.

A reminder to everyone that naloxone is light-sensitive and should be stored in a cool, dark place. For the naloxone kits, the vials are protected from light by the amber vials and surrounding gauze. Clients should be advised to keep the kits away from heat, as it may affect the stability and efficacy of the naloxone. 

How To Order Harm Reduction Supplies

Supplies can be ordered by harm reduction distribution sites which are approved by the appropriate regional health authority. The harm reduction supply requisition form available online on the BCCDC website should be used and ordered at the same time as other harm reduction supplies. The completed form is faxed to BCCDC.
