On 18 January 2022, the Pan-Canadian Formulary Advisory Panel presented an information session with its recommendations for the development of a framework for a potential pan-Canadian prescription drug list, or formulary.
The Pan-Canadian Formulary Advisory Panel was established by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health at the request of Health Canada. The information session focused on:
- the principles for developing a pan-Canadian formulary framework;
- a sample list of prescribed drugs to include on the potential formulary as a test case; and
- criteria and processes for expanding the sample list.
