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 2026

This medication is not listed on the Ontario Drug Benefit formulary.

Not on the formulary is not the same as not covered. Private and workplace insurance, federal programs such as Non-Insured Health Benefits and Veterans Affairs, and every other province’s public plan are all outside what this page shows — Ontario is the only province RxMonitor holds coverage data for. Ontario may also fund a product that is not on the formulary through the Exceptional Access Program.

How it is classified

Anatomical main group
Dermatologicals
ATC code
D11AX12

The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code records the body system a medicine acts on and its chemical grouping. It is not a statement of what this medication treats, and nothing on this page is. For the full classification of D11AX12, see the WHO ATC/DDD Index.

Recalls and safety alerts

As of 12 August 2026

No Health Canada recall has been matched to this product.

This is not a statement that no recall exists for this medication. Health Canada’s recalls data carries no DIN and no company name, so notices are matched on wording alone — and 1,437 of the 2,306 drug notices in the feed could not be matched to any product at all. Check Health Canada’s own search before concluding anything.

Important:

Information only — this is not medical advice. RxMonitor shows what Health Canada and provincial drug programs have published about authorised products. It does not tell you what to take, whether a medication is right for you, or what dose to use.

Always talk to a pharmacist or physician about your own medication, and never start, stop or change one based on what you read here.
