Executive Summary
CANADIAN HARMONIZATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL CLASSES AMONG PROVINCES will lean toward a three-schedule system (prescription, pharmacy behind-the-counter, and pharmacy self-selection), Canadian Bureau of Nonprescription Drugs Director Mary Carman, PharmD, told the Drug Information Association's annual meeting on June 8. The three-schedule system actually would create four classes of trade for pharmaceuticals, including OTCs that can be sold in any retail outlet.
