What's happening

Tadalafil is currently affected by 2 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by SUN PHARMA CANADA INC, MARCAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC.

The reported causes are: disruption of the manufacture of the drug; 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.

Tadalafil is classified under “OTHER UROLOGICALS, INCL ANTISPASMODICS” (ATC G04BE).
