330 - Does "coming soon" on an approved product require PAAB approval?
-
A piece containing only the message "Drug X is coming soon" with absolutely no other message (implied or stated) within the piece AND absolutely no link to therapeutic or promotional messages is exempt. Note that the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that this message is employed only AFTER the product has been approved by Health Canada. It is prohibited to advertise a drug product prior to Health Canada approval.
