Search Health Canada Drug Product Database
Search the Health Canada Drug Product Database (DPD), the register of every drug authorized for sale in Canada (human, veterinary, biologic, radiopharmaceutical, disinfectant), marketed, dormant or cancelled, by brand name, active ingredient or 8-digit DIN, optionally by status. Returns products with DIN, company, current status and ingredients, cited by DPD drug code. With searchBy "auto" a DIN is looked up as a DIN, otherwise the brand is tried, then the ingredient; a name the DPD does not know (a US brand, a misspelling) is retried once by its RxNorm ingredient names (records then say matchedVia "rxnorm"). Call read_health_canada_drug for schedule, route, dosage form, strengths and ATC class. The DPD is a product register: it holds no label text, no approval review and no safety data, and covers Canada only.
