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.

How much does NALOXONE cost around the world?
NALOXONE is listed on 9 national price registers Nexara tracks, across 56 pack listings published on 9 different price bases. What each country publishes is set out below.
| Market | What that country publishes | Brands listed | Pack listings | As of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | acquisition | 4 | 32 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 6 | 14 | 08 Sep 2026 |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 3 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 2 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 1 | 1 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 1 | 1 | 31 Aug 2026 |
| Italy | ex-factory (classe H) | 1 | 1 | 02 Sep 2026 |
| Luxembourg | reimbursement | 1 | 1 | 05 Sep 2026 |
| South Africa | single exit price | 1 | 1 | 01 Sep 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?

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.
