What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE APO-ACEBUTOLOL is indicated for the following:  Treatment of mild to moderate hypertension.  Long-term management of patients with angina pectoris due to ischemic heart disease. Treatment of mild to moderate hypertension: APO-ACEBUTOLOL is usually used in combination with other drugs, particularly a thiazide diuretic. However, it may be tried alone as an initial agent in those patients in whom, in the judgment of the physician, treatment should be started with a β-blocker rather than a diuretic. In patients with severe hypertension a β-adrenergic blocking agent may be used as part of a multiple drug regimen which would normally include a diuretic and a vasodilator. The combination of acebutolol with a diuretic or peripheral vasodilator has been found to be compatible and generally more effective than acebutolol alone. Limited experience with other antihypertensive agents has not shown evidence of incompatibility. APO-ACEBUTOLOL is not indicated in the emergency treatment of hypertensive crises. Geriatrics: Acebutolol has been used in the elderly without specific adjustment of dosage.

Other review policies

For Sectral: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
