Information
The BC Drug and Poison Information Centre (BC DPIC) website is an excellent go-to resource for trusted, up-to-date information on poison prevention and management—especially when it comes to children. However, it is not a substitute for speaking with a trained Poison Specialist. If you suspect that a child or anyone else has been poisoned by a medication, chemical, or other substance, call the Poison Control Centre immediately at 604-682-5050 or 1-800-567-8911. Help is available 24/7.
