Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.

Are organizations able to have a specific web page for their pharmaceutical product? Specifically a prescription injection product. If so, can Google Ads or search engine optimization be used to promote this website.
Hello @jriordan
Yes, pharmaceutical product can have a webpage. Section C.01.44 of the Food and Drugs Act Regulations restricts the advertisement of a Schedule F drug (prescription drugs), to the general public to name, price, and quantity. If they are prescription and go beyond the limitations of the consumer regulations (name, price, quantity), the content should appear behind a gate to limit to the acceptable audiences (patient information or HCP advertising).
Google Ads or search engine optimization (SEO) generally occurs in the ungated public space and means that the totality of the content (search terms, descriptor, gate landing page and URL) cannot exceed the consumer regulations.
