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 2026Limited Use benefit Part XII
Ontario lists this product as a Limited Use benefit — Part XII of the Formulary/CDI. ODB pays for it only in the specific circumstances Ontario sets out against it, and the prescription has to carry a Limited Use code from the prescriber.
The criteria are set by Ontario and are not reproduced here — they are a matter for the prescriber.
- What ODB pays per unit
- $72.0600
This is what the Ontario Drug Benefit program reimburses a pharmacy for one unit, as of 31 July 2026. A deductible and a co-payment sit on top of it and differ by program — ODB, the Trillium Drug Program and the seniors co-payment each work differently — so it is not the figure anyone is charged at a counter. It also says nothing about private, workplace or federal coverage.

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.
