Canadian Prescriptions - NDC Codes and DIN
Numbers
Many of our customers call us to ask about what their
prescription drug NDC number is. The NDC number is the
"National Drug Code" which uniquely identifies
the drug's manufacturer in the United States. These
numbers are managed by the US Federal Drug Administration
and are freely available to the public. The link to
the FDA's web site is:
FDA
CDER - Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
You can find the link to the "National Drug Code
Database" from that page.
Canada has a similar drug numbering and identification
system which is call the "DIN" or "Drug
Identification Number" which uniquely identifies
any given prescription and non-prescription drug that
is nationally registered with Health Canada. Health
Canada functions in a similar way to the way the FDA
does in the United States. Health Canada provides the
drug product database as a public service on its web
site which is available at the following address:

Notice: Medications shipped from Canada have been approved
for use in Canada by Health Canada, a prescription and
non-prescription drug regulatory body similar in function
to the United States Food and Drug Administration (US
FDA). Since the FDA has no jurisdiction in Canada, the
drugs which you received from our service have not been
approved by the FDA. They have been approved for use,
however, by Health Canada for use by the general Canadian
population. |
