Products with the same active ingredient
Grouped by Health Canada’s active-ingredient group number. Products in a group do not always share a strength — check the strength above against your own. Sharing an active ingredient does not mean two products can be substituted for each other: whether a substitution is permitted is a provincial decision, and this page does not show it. Ask a pharmacist.

Ontario Drug Benefit coverage
As of 31 July 2026This medication is not listed on the Ontario Drug Benefit formulary.
Not on the formulary is not the same as not covered. Private and workplace insurance, federal programs such as Non-Insured Health Benefits and Veterans Affairs, and every other province’s public plan are all outside what this page shows — Ontario is the only province RxMonitor holds coverage data for. Ontario may also fund a product that is not on the formulary through the Exceptional Access Program.

Reported side effects
RxMonitor does not show reported side effects.
Health Canada collects voluntary reports of suspected side effects in the Canada Vigilance database. RxMonitor does not summarise them, because a count of reports is not a rate and the most-reported term for a medication is often the condition it is prescribed for — for a reliever inhaler, the most reported term is asthma. Nothing here should be read as a list of this medication’s side effects, or as evidence that it has few. The product monograph and a pharmacist are the sources for that.
How it is classified
- Anatomical main group
- Dermatologicals
- ATC code
- D04AA32
The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code records the body system a medicine acts on and its chemical grouping. It is not a statement of what this medication treats, and nothing on this page is. For the full classification of D04AA32, see the WHO ATC/DDD Index.
Recalls and safety alerts
As of 12 August 2026No Health Canada recall has been matched to this product.
This is not a statement that no recall exists for this medication. Health Canada’s recalls data carries no DIN and no company name, so notices are matched on wording alone — and 1,386 of the 2,306 drug notices in the feed could not be matched to any product at all. Check Health Canada’s own search before concluding anything.
