M-PANTOPRAZOLE
MANTRA PHARMA INC
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 M-PANTOPRAZOLE discontinued in Canada?
Yes. The manufacturer has reported to Health Canada that M-PANTOPRAZOLE 40MG has been permanently discontinued (last updated March 18, 2020). It is not expected to come back, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor about an alternative.
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.
