334 - A product is not yet approved in Canada but approved in the US and Europe. In an international conference held in Canada, can we invite Canadian healthcare professionals to attend an company-sponsored talk within the conference auspices...and the presentation includes the unapproved product?

110 - We would like to develop a schedule table for a multi-dose regimen of a vaccine and provide it to customers in a fridge magnet format. No product name or branding will be included, but it will be labelled as being provided as an educational service by company X. The content would be submitted for PAAB review.Is the fridge magnet format acceptable to PAAB?

90 - Does PAAB follow the US Pharma codes requirement that companies can not provide giveaways at promotional conventions as of 2009. However, for a US company that is participating in a canadian international convention that is currently licensed in the US for a particular product or use but not licensed in Canada, are giveaways at the booth appropriate, and if so what kind of giveaways are appropriate?

75 - I am wondering if PAAB rules allow pharmaceutical companies to run a contest for a consumer product of low value on a gated professional website? Eg. run an online ad asking doctor's to submit their own tagline for an ad and win a basket with $50 worth of products in it? If you need more detail, please give me a call.

22 - A pharma company has commissioned a third-party to create a patient support package. This package is given free to the patient from the doctor when they begin treatment. The package contains product monograph and consumer products to help with the drug's side-effect management. Can the package also contain products that do not deal with the side effect management, but relate to the product's target age group ie: a purse or wallet, a backpack, free music downloads etc? And is there a limit on the value allowed for the patient support package?
