June 2002
The methodology for calculating exchange rates for purposes of the PMPRB's International Price Comparisons is described in Schedule 3 of the Compendium of Guidelines, Policies and Procedures.
Existing Drug Products
The simple average of the monthly average noon spot exchange rates for each country for the 36-month period ending June 2002 will be used in the review of prices for existing medicines in the first half of 2002.
The international prices of an existing drug product for the period January to June 2002 can be converted to Canadian currency for comparison purposes by multiplying the local currency price in each country by the corresponding simple average exchange rate.
