Oxygen is a controlled drug and must be perscribed by a physician. If you think you may need home oxygen, please speak to your doctor.
Lung Saskatchewan has patient support groups to provide a forum where patients, caregivers, and their families can come together in a safe environment to ask questions, share experiences and offer support to each other. If you are interested in joining these groups, find out more at: www.lungsask.ca/lungs/programs-support/support-groups.
