Quick answers
Is PANTO IV discontinued in Canada?
Yes. The manufacturer has reported to Health Canada that PANTO IV 40MG has been permanently discontinued (last updated March 15, 2017). It is not expected to come back, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor about an alternative.
Why is PANTO IV 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.
