    97 - Is there a current practice to use a symbol "PR" to designate a prescription drug, like in trade-marks where the symbols "TM" or (R) are used ? And if so, what are the rules of use for such symbol?

      As per PAAB Code 2.2, the federal drug schedule (e.g. Pr for prescription products) in addition to the brand and generic names of the product must appear in juxtaposition as least once in both the advertising copy and prescribing information.

        @jennifer-carroll Can you provide clarity. If this appears in the logo, does that suffice? Does it need to appear in first mention either in text or if the logo is at the top of the APS? Can you clarify what you mean by it needing to be in the safety information.

          Hey @gmc

          Yes, inclusion in the logo qualifies. The answer above is based on an older version of the code. The current code section 2.2 states: In all APS for pharmaceutical products, the brand or trade name, the non-proprietary or generic name and the Federal drug schedule of the product must appear in juxtaposition at least once within advertising copy and must be in good contrast and be legible.

          It can appear anywhere in the piece as long as it appears at least once.
