Products with the same active ingredient
Grouped by Health Canada’s active-ingredient group number. Products in a group do not always share a strength — check the strength above against your own. Sharing an active ingredient does not mean two products can be substituted for each other: whether a substitution is permitted is a provincial decision, and this page does not show it. Ask a pharmacist.
Ontario Drug Benefit coverage
As of 31 July 2026Listed, not a benefit Part III
This product appears in Ontario’s Formulary/CDI but is not an ODB benefit — Ontario does not pay for it. It is listed so that a pharmacist can see which products are interchangeable with it, which is usually the case for an originator brand sitting beside its generics.

- Diazepam 00362158Aa Pharma Inc
This is Ontario’s designation, under the Ontario Drug Benefit program, and it applies in Ontario. It is a different statement from the same-active-ingredient list above, which is Health Canada’s grouping and carries no substitution meaning at all. No other province’s rules are shown on this page, and a designation here is not a recommendation to switch — that is a conversation with a pharmacist or prescriber.
