monographie de produit vierge
Explanation:
I am absolutely positive that PM refers to Product Monograph. I'm not completely convinced that pristine should be translated as vierge, as the only occurrence I found is a Health Canada page (first Web reference below).

According to a MOHLTC document (second Web reference below), a Pristine Product Monograph seems to be a document required for drug benefit approval.

pristine pm
Pristine Method


Explanation:
Redundant Acronym Syndrome?

Pristine PM = Pristine P[ristine] M[ethod]?

Could be like 'ATM machine' (Automated Teller Machine machine) and 'PIN number' (Personal Identification Number number).

See Marina Orlova's video about the 'RAS Syndrome':

Not sure this has anything to do with your sentence, though, hehe.

pristine pm
Pristine MP


Explanation:
I believe that Pristine is the name of a drug;PM would stand for Prescribed Medication

Amlodipine is reported as an ingredient of Pristine.
Ketoconazole is reported as an ingredient of Pristine

Pristine PM = Pristine MP (MP= médicament prescrit?)
Difficult to know without more context

Hopefully, this might get the ball rolling for you.

pristine pm
Pristine (laboratories) Prescription Medicines


Explanation:
Well, without more context I would say that it refers to Pristine Pharma Corporation.
Pristine Pharma is a distributor, importator of various molecules for several manufacturers
http://www.pristinepharmacorp.com/

OR if it is used as an adjective in medicine it means immaculately clean and unused
But I really don't see what a "unused and pure Prescription Medicine" will have to do in the context....

pristine pm
Pristine Numed PM


Explanation:
Cette fois-ci, une réponse ayant un rapport avec les médicaments, pour faire bonne figure. :)

http://www.pristinepharmacorp.com/UploadedFiles/PRISTINE PHA...

Page 7, "NUMED PM Regular Tablets" et "NUMED PM Blue Tablets", qui sont tous deux du Tylenol PM.

Tous les produits de Pristine s'appelant Numed, Pristine PM devrait signifier Numed PM, et "Based on Pristine PM" devrait être équivalent à "Based on Tylenol PM".

Cela dit, je n'y connais rien, et je décline toute responsabilité si vous vous soignez à l'aide de cette réponse. ;)
