The most recent online report on Canadian pharmaceuticals is a pdf
file located at http://www.pharmacyconnects.com/pdfs/2002/12/Pract_12_pg_30-35.pdf.

It is possible that the producers of the report can provide you with
more recent data subsequent to this 2002 report if you query them
directly.

Note that the report provides the top 200 pharmaceuticals sold by
Canadian drug manufacturers.

Hello,

Yes, I am already aware of the IMS report.  It only reports on
prescription drugs, not over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol,
Ibuprofin, etc.  IMS appears to gather its data from the actual number
of prescriptions filled and since OTCs do not require a prescription,
these are not tracked.

So, my question is still outstanding.

Thanks,
C
