Provigil contraindication from Health Canada

Hello!

Wondering if anyone else's organization was doing anything with the heightened warnings / contraindication that Health Canada released in June 2019 regarding the risks of use of Provigil during pregnancy. (Currently, in the US, the FDA has not released any updated stance on the matter as Canada has)

Our sleep providers were concerned and I was just curious if anyone else has had this question come up? How did you approach?

Thanks!
Emily
