What is the Drug Product Database (DPD)?
The DPD contains product specific information on drugs approved for use in Canada. The database is managed by Health Canada and includes human pharmaceutical and biological drugs, veterinary drugs and disinfectant products. It contains approximately 18,000 products which companies have notified Health Canada as being marketed. Health Canada is the federal regulator of therapeutic products. We are not a manufacturer. We do not take or fill orders for these products. For information on where these products are sold, please contact the individual company directly.
