Schedule 2 products - PAAB guidelines for promotional material
-
We are marketing a Schedule 2 product (non-prescription, HC regulated) that can also be prescribed (to allow for coverage via a drug plan) and wanted to know the guidelines for branded and unbranded promotional materials when it comes to this type of Schedule 2 products.

Hello @ap
Schedule 2 in this case appears to be referring to NAPRA. For drug advertising, one should refer to Health Canada schedules.
Since the question was posted under the category “DTCI” we will assume you’re asking about the consumer regulations. The Food and Drug Regulations, Food and Drug Act, relation to conditions listed on Schedule A and the Health Canada document Therapeutic Comparative Advertising: Directive and Guidance Document should be applied.
For content directed to healthcare professionals, the PAAB Code applies and all aspects of the Code should be met.
