What's happening

Solifenacin is currently affected by 7 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, SUN PHARMA CANADA INC, MANTRA PHARMA INC, ACCORD HEALTHCARE INC and 1 others.

The reported causes are: delay in shipping of the drug; disruption of the manufacture of the drug; requirements related to complying with good manufacturing practices. 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.

Solifenacin is classified under “OTHER UROLOGICALS, INCL ANTISPASMODICS” (ATC G04BD).

Common questions

When will Solifenacin be back in stock in Canada?

The latest manufacturer estimate is Jul 24, 2026. Estimates are self-reported and often slip; this page updates automatically when they change.

Why is Solifenacin 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.
