This is a national manufacturer shortage report. It does not confirm whether the product is unavailable at your local pharmacy — call ahead or ask your pharmacist.
Quick answers
Is RAN-PANTOPRAZOLE discontinued in Canada?
Yes. The manufacturer has reported to Health Canada that RAN-PANTOPRAZOLE has been permanently discontinued (last updated March 29, 2019). It is not expected to come back, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor about an alternative.
Why is RAN-PANTOPRAZOLE not available?
The reason the manufacturer reported: Business reasons.
Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) Shortage in Canada: Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole
Why a shortage of one PPI brand rarely means the whole class is unavailable, when a pharmacist can swap manufacturers, and when it needs your prescriber.
Other Products Containing the Same Active Ingredient
These are other Health Canada-approved human drug products containing the same active ingredient, not currently reported in shortage. Strength, dosage form, and route can still differ — ask your pharmacist whether any of these are appropriate for you. This isn't a guarantee of current stock.
