lapresse.ca (French)

Dr. Amir Khadir has been suspended for six months for prescribing controversial long-term antibiotic treatments for Lyme disease. The disciplinary council's decision, made public on Wednesday, stems from Dr. Khadir admitting to 12 charges of violating medical ethics by prescribing antibiotics for over 28 days to 12 patients. Dr. Khadir had previously agreed to stop these treatments in 2020 but was reported in January 2024 for continuing them, though he claims no patients suffered adverse effects.
