Hello @nkh
It would not be acceptable to purchase other sponsors brand/generic name even if it was a product for use before or along with the sponsors product as this would create a link to the therapeutic use of the sponsors product for patients who are on the other brand but not the sponsors. This would be considered direct to consumer advertising which goes beyond name, price and quantity and which advertises the therapeutic use of the product.

312 - What are the steps to review and approved a website? Does the content of the site may be revised first as independent, indicating the titles subtitles, main menu, submenu, boutons, etc..? And then once approved texts, we submit the entire site with images of each page and approuved content. Or should we submit from the first revision the entire website as one ASP needed to be revised with images of the design which will present content that not approuved?

760 - What type of gating is required for a HCP website for a schedule 1 product (narcotic)? is de-indexing considered a form of gating? What type of information can be available pre-gate? can information around a patient support program be made available pre-gate for a schedule 1 (narcotic) product?

742 - My client is preparing an HCP website that will include brand promotion as well as offer samples. The site will be 'gated' which will involve a landing page that asks the viewer if they are a Canadian physician and require that they input their license number. Does the website require a validation process to ensure that the license numbers and the physician name are accurate? Could the 'validation' be limited to ensuring that the correct number of digits/letters are input (as opposed to confirming that those numbers match to a licensed physician). I look forward to your feedback. Thank you! LC

50 - To restrict access to patient web site we usually use the DIN as an accepted method of verifying that the visitor is indeed a patient before granting access. But we are currently working on a web site for a drug where the patients never receive the product packaging. Some of them might be able to find the DIN on their drug store receipt but some receipts don't have that information. Are there other accepted methods of restricting access to a patient web site in case the DIN is not available?

712 - We have an online newsletter where we post healthcare-related information, as well as society news pertaining to our association. Our member and supporter base primarily consists of hospital pharmacists as well as a small number of architects, students, and pharmaceutical companies. We can set-up advertising on the site to require a login to limit access by the general public. My concern is with the students who are not yet healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical organizations, and the small number of architect members. Would their exposure to pharmaceutical advertising go against PAAB standards, even if we include a disclaimer that the advertisements are meant for healthcare professionals only? When we used to have...

633 - I would like to send an email to verified healthcare professional, that email would not exceed Price, Name, Quantity, would include no claim and have a deep link to access the product monograph of this schedule A product. Do I need to submit such email to PAAB approval if ... 1- the product monograph is only accessible via this email ? 2- the product monograph is hosted on our corporate website (ungated website) ? 3- the product monograph is hosted on a gated hcp website ?
