What's happening
Cilazapril is currently affected by 2 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS ULC, HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE LIMITED.
The reported causes are: disruption of the manufacture of the drug; other (please describe in comments). Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.
If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.
Cilazapril is classified under “ACE INHIBITORS, PLAIN” (ATC C09AA).
