What's happening

Ramipril is currently affected by 14 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by APOTEX INC, SUN PHARMA CANADA INC, TEVA CANADA LIMITED, SANIS HEALTH INC and 2 others.

The reported causes are: disruption of the manufacture of the drug; other (please describe in comments); delay in shipping of the drug. 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.

Ramipril is classified under “ACE INHIBITORS, PLAIN” (ATC C09AA).

When will Ramipril be back in stock in Canada?

The latest manufacturer estimate is Jul 17, 2026. Estimates are self-reported and often slip; this page updates automatically when they change.

Why is Ramipril in shortage?

See the reports above; manufacturers must state a reason (most commonly manufacturing disruption or a surge in demand) when filing with Health Canada.

What can my pharmacist do about it?

Often quite a lot: substitute an equivalent product from an unaffected manufacturer, adjust quantities, or in most provinces adapt or renew prescriptions on the spot. Call your pharmacy before visiting, and call 811 for free health advice.
