From 1972 onwards this agency has provided a mechanism by which advertisers can ensure that their adverts stay within regulations. This is, of course, done for a fee.

The Clearence services took over this task in 1997, after Health Canada stopped providing this clearence system. They now work with Health Canada in order to ensure the advertisment of drugs meets the standards put in place by the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations. Theye look in to the Advertisment of the following:

  • Non-prescription Drugs and Natural Health Products - This refers to the way in which these products are advertised on Radio, television, newspapers and Magizines.


  • Direct to Consumer Advertising and Information - This focuses on directing the advetisment and gives opinions on how it is best to inform the consumer of perscription drugs, Medical Conditions and for the recruitment of patients for clinical trials.
  • Consultations - Provides consultations on Direct to Consumer Advertising and Infromation. Also provides a consultation service for the launching of new products abd provides some advertising concepts for this.


In order to get this service from the Advertising Standards Canada it will cost:

$235 for non-members and $190 for members to get the Non-prescription Drugs and Natural Health Products service based around T.V and mass print.
$95 for members and $120 for non-members for the same service but if they only want it for Radio advertisment.
