All current drug shortages in Canada

552 drugs

This is the complete list of drugs with at least one active shortage report filed with Health Canada, one entry per drug rather than per paperwork filing. A partial shortage means some manufacturers still supply the drug and your pharmacy can often substitute; a widespread shortage means half or more of reported products (or a Tier 3 designation) are affected and options are thinner. Click any drug for manufacturer-level detail, recovery estimates, and alerts.
