Ask PAAB

I would appreciation clarification of Section 6.6 of the code related to patient information direct from and consistent with the Product Monograph in combination with gating requirements. If a video is created that walks a patient through how to administer the injection as per part III, does not mention what the product is used for, and that video is posted (with no gating) on the company's website right below the product monograph for that product (as you know companies typically have a page on their company site with all their product monographs posted)......is 1) that video exempt from PAAB review and 2) Can the video be left ungated in this situation (i.e. Does proximity to the monograph pose an issue)? Thank you.

  This question deals more with consumer advertising regulation (rather than section 6.6 per se). We had posed the question to Health Canada some time ago but have yet to receive a response. We will update this answer upon receipt of the Health Canada response.
