Prescription Pads/Tools

Good morning,
Does the code permit the development of prescription tools by drug companies to simplify the prescribing process for HCPs? For example, see the prescription pad below and here is a link to an insulin prescription tool developed by Diabetes Canada: https://guidelines.diabetes.ca/reduce-complications/insulin-prescription-tool

Hi @theodora32
The provisions of pre-printed prescriptions pads are not addressed specifically in the PAAB Code. As a company-sponsored service oriented vehicle, PAAB will review the content of submissions with a prescription pad to assess its consistency with the TMA. However, it is the sponsor’s responsibility (e.g. medical/regulatory or legal departments) to do their due diligence to ensure that this activity does not contravene the regulations and codes of the respective federal/provincial regulatory bodies, health professional governing bodies and industry associations.
