<p>T<em>he Regulation of Drugs in Canada: The?</em>Food and Drugs Act<em>?and Related Intellectual Property Regimes</em> provides an overview of the laws in Canada that govern the manufacture and sale of drugs that are subject to the?<em>Food and Drugs Act</em>, including?pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and natural health products.?Among the laws that are discussed are the new regulatory pathways that were made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>

<p>This book also describes the intellectual property framework that applies to drugs and explains the impact this framework has on the drug approval process, as well as its unique objective:?to encourage innovation and incentivize bringing new therapeutic options to market. Authors Simon Carvalho, T. Nessim Abu-Zahra, and David Edwards explain how this framework regulates the competition between “brand-name manufacturers” who are the first to bring a drug to market and obtain patents and other intellectual property, and “generic” or “biosimilar” manufacturers, who manufacture and sell copies of brand-name products.?</p>
