Health Canada Drug Product Database

Health Canada's Drug Product Database (DPD), the register of drugs authorized for sale in Canada: about 58,000 human, veterinary, disinfectant and radiopharmaceutical products, approved, marketed, dormant or cancelled. Search by brand name, active ingredient, DIN, ATC code, AIG number or company, and read one product by DIN or drug code: active ingredients with strengths, dosage forms, routes, schedules, WHO ATC class, current status with its date and the original market date, the DIN owner with address, and the product monograph link. Data is under the Open Government Licence - Canada 2.0; every result carries its attribution statement.
