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.
494 - On a STI sample card the Brand name is included along with images of the product. Does this need to be PAAB approved or is it exempt (i.e. no claims are included, no indication statement just product name). Thanks
-
The card itself can be exempt (even though it contains the Brand name) if it contains only transactional information for the pharmacist e.g. insurer, carrier code, and other computer entry instructions related to billing. If there is additional information such as mention (or linkage to) disease/condition OR corporate messages review is required. Recall PAAB reviews corporate messages with product mention under s7.4.
