Which pack is which?
| Strength on the label | 10 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | TABLET |
| Route | ORAL |
| Packaging as described in the monograph | Tablets: Bottles (7, 30, 60, 100, 250, 1000) and blisters. ZYDIS: Aluminum blister strips (7 or 28 tablets). IM: 5 mL single-use vials. |

One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced. Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

Is OLANZAPINE in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Anticipated — reported by SANIS HEALTH INC, last seen 04 Sep 2026.

Nexara can confirm current availability and identify substitutions or import options where permitted.
What can be used instead?
Other Canadian products sharing ATC code N05AH03 OLANZAPINE. 103 of 271 DINs in this group are currently marketed — marketed products are listed first, because that is what can actually be bought.

How much does OLANZAPINE cost around the world?
OLANZAPINE is listed on 13 national price registers Nexara tracks, across 628 pack listings published on 11 different price bases. What each country publishes is set out below.
| Market | What that country publishes | Brands listed | Pack listings | As of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 58 | 111 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 107 | 107 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| United States | acquisition | 7 | 102 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 13 | 67 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| South Africa | single exit price | 59 | 65 | 01 Sep 2026 |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 20 | 53 | 08 Sep 2026 |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 37 | 41 | 01 Sep 2026 |
| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 17 | 17 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 5 | 17 | 05 Sep 2026 |

| United Arab Emirates | public | 9 | 10 | 31 Aug 2026 |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 10 | 10 | 31 Aug 2026 |
Why there are no figures here. These bases are not comparable. A Brazilian ex-factory ceiling, a Belgian pharmacy public price and a Japanese reimbursement rate answer three different questions, and none of them is what a product lands in Canada for. Putting them side by side would mislead in both directions, so Nexara publishes where a molecule is listed and on what basis, and quotes the delivered Canadian price per order.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
