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 lists 2 further products in this group that are not currently marketed in Canada. They are not shown.
This is Ontario’s designation, under the Ontario Drug Benefit program, and it applies in Ontario. It is a different statement from the same-active-ingredient list above, which is Health Canada’s grouping and carries no substitution meaning at all. No other province’s rules are shown on this page, and a designation here is not a recommendation to switch — that is a conversation with a pharmacist or prescriber.

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 1,437 of the 2,306 drug notices in the feed could not be matched to any product at all.
