How is this product identified?
Purchase orders, customs paperwork and tender documents each ask for a different identifier, and a DIN written without its leading zeros is the single most common reason an order line fails to match. Every form Nexara accepts for this product is listed here.

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.
What can be used instead?
Other Canadian products sharing ATC code D01AC01 CLOTRIMAZOLE. 4 of 14 DINs in this group are currently marketed — marketed products are listed first, because that is what can actually be bought. These tables describe supply, not clinical equivalence: substitution rests with the prescriber or pharmacist, and interchangeability is determined provincially.

How much does CLOTRIMAZOLE cost around the world?
CLOTRIMAZOLE is listed on 10 national price registers Nexara tracks, across 147 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Africa | single exit price | 41 | 50 | 01 Sep 2026 |
| United States | acquisition | 5 | 31 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 19 | 22 | 01 Sep 2026 |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 10 | 10 | 08 Sep 2026 |
| Bahrain | retail (max) | 6 | 10 | 01 Sep 2026 |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 3 | 9 | 05 Sep 2026 |
| United Arab Emirates | public | 7 | 7 | 31 Aug 2026 |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 3 | 3 | 03 Sep 2026 |
| Luxembourg | reimbursement | 3 | 3 | 05 Sep 2026 |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 2 | 2 | 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.

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.
