As previously reported, the
Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH)
and the Pan-Canadian Formulary Advisory Panel (Panel) held an
information session on January 18 about a potential pan-Canadian
formulary.
On January 11, CADTH posted a discussion
paper about the proposed framework for a potential
pan-Canadian formulary, which includes a discussion of the proposed
principles, values, and criteria to guide the development as well
as a proposed sample list of drugs focusing on commonly prescribed
drugs and related products in three therapeutic areas
(cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and psychiatric illness).
CADTH has provided an online
