When you pick up a generic prescription, you’re getting the exact same active ingredient, in the same amount, working the same way in your body as the brand-name drug. The only real difference? The price. The brand-name version of prescription medicines can cost up to 10 times…
Did you know that more than three-quarters of the medicines Canadians rely on every day are generic? More than 77% of prescriptions filled in Canada are generics, because they deliver the same quality, safety, and effectiveness as brand-name drugs at just a fraction of the cost…
The most boring conversation ever? Maybe not!!! Check out the second TV spot from our first-ever TV ad campaign. In this episode, "Generic" and "Brand Name" continue their argument about whether generic prescription medicines are as effective as their brand name counterparts.…
Improving the efficiency of Health Canada’s drug review process is a shared priority for federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel, the CGPA and its @CDNBiosimilars division. We look forward to working with Health Canada to cut red tape and speed up generic and biosimilar drug…

Health Canada’s generic review process is becoming increasingly unpredictable and unsustainable. As CGPA President Jim Keon recently told The Globe & Mail, “Health Canada acknowledges they’re picking up submissions late. They are short of resources. There’s a higher submission…
Are generic prescriptions just as effective as their brand name counterparts? If so, why do brand name drugs cost up to 10 times more? This month, CGPA introduces Canadians to two guys who debate generics vs brand name drugs. The CGPA is pleased to launch its first-ever TV ad…
Boosting the use of generic prescription medicines by a single percentage point could save Canada $1.234 billion. In the private sector, a one percent increase in generics would save more than $700 million, while a one percent increase in the public sector would save more than…
As concerns grow over U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to impose 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, CGPA President Jim Keon has again shared his insights with the media, this time in a Canadian Press story published in the Financial Post. While the tariffs are not…
In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal of tariffs of up to 200% on pharmaceutical imports, CGPA President Jim Keon shared his perspective in today’s Toronto Star. While Canada represents just 5% of U.S. generic imports, Jim noted that the proposed tariffs would…
This Canada Day, we’re celebrating one of our country’s quiet strengths: our domestic generic pharmaceutical industry. Canada is one of the few nations in the world with robust, homegrown capacity to manufacture high-quality, safe, and cost-effective generic medicines. Our…
When it comes to filling prescriptions, generic pharmaceuticals punch way above their weight. In Canada, $48 billion is spent annually on prescription medicines. But even though generics are used to fill more than 78% of all prescriptions, they account for less than 23% of the…
Canada’s generic drug prices have dropped more than 60% over the last decade—good news for short-term savings, but not for long-term supply. When prices fall below the cost of production or importation, it becomes impossible for manufacturers and distributors to sustain the…
Drug shortages are an increasing concern globally—and here in Canada, the numbers are staggering. Since 2017, 10 to 15% of all drugs in Canada have been in shortage at any given time, and more than half of all marketed drugs have experienced at least one shortage. In fact, in…
One of the most important steps in preventing drug shortages is ensuring that critical medicines are priced in a way that reflects their value to the healthcare system. Right now, some essential drugs are priced so low that they don’t support the cost of maintaining a stable…
CGPA staff recently had the pleasure of visiting the Alliston, Ontario manufacturing facility of our member company, Baxter. Few countries in the world can match Canada's domestic generic pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, and Baxter's Alliston facility is a perfect…
The CGPA congratulates Prime Minister Carney and the Liberal Party of Canada on forming the new federal government and all 343 Members of Parliament who were elected on April 28. Generic and biosimilar medicines are used to fill 80% of all prescriptions in Canada and provide…
Le Canada est confronté à des défis uniques en matière d'approvisionnement en médicaments. Un nouveau rapport co-publié par l'ACMG et l'Association canadienne de la gestion de l'approvisionnement pharmaceutique note que les pénuries mondiales - comme le manque d'ingrédients…
Canada faces unique challenges when it comes to drug supply. A new report co-published by the CGPA and the Canadian Association for Pharmacy Distribution Management notes that global shortages—like a lack of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)—impact countries worldwide,…
For decades, lean supply chains have prioritized efficiency and cost savings—but in pharmaceuticals, this approach has left Canada’s drug supply vulnerable to shortages. Canada’s pharmaceutical supply chain has become increasingly vulnerable due to greater reliance on outsourced…
Canada’s pharmaceutical supply chain faces growing regulatory burdens that slow access to medicines and contribute to shortages. Global misalignment results in differing importation standards that make it harder to secure alternative supply during shortages, while regulatory…
