ApprovalTrail

Is it approved in Canada?

Every drug, natural health product and medical device Health Canada has licensed, with its DIN, NPN or licence number, its status today, the company that holds it, its ingredients, its approvals and the recalls that mention it. One page each, from Health Canada’s own databases.

Try a brand (Tylenol), an ingredient (melatonin), a company, or the 8-digit DIN or NPN on the label.

What the numbers mean

DIN (Drug Identification Number): the 8-digit number on every drug Health Canada has authorized, prescription or over the counter. NPN (Natural Product Number) and DIN-HM: the same for vitamins, supplements, herbal and homeopathic products. Medical devices of Class II to IV carry a device licence.

A product with none of these, sold as a drug or a natural health product, is not authorized for sale in Canada. ApprovalTrail copies Health Canada’s public records; it is not Health Canada, and it gives no medical advice. About the data
