Is there a generic Heparin, Combinations in Canada, and who makes it?

Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.

2 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Heparin, Combinations, across 8 DINs, of which 4 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.

How is it supplied and stored?

Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.

Strength on the label5 G / 100 ML
Dosage formSOLUTION
RouteINTRAVENOUS
Pack configuration (monograph)Supplied in plastic containers (Excel Container). Specific sizes mentioned in summary table include 4,000, 5,000, and 10,000 units.
StorageStore at room temperature (25°C); brief exposure up to 40°C permitted. Avoid excessive heat. Protect from freezing.

Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

Health Canada record and identifiers

The regulatory facts straight from the Drug Product Database, plus every identifier form Nexara accepts on a purchase order. A DIN written without its leading zeros is the commonest reason an order line fails to match.

How is it administered?

Continuous IV infusion. Initial dose: 5,000 units. Maintenance: 20,000 - 40,000 units/24 hours. Adjust dose based on APTT (1.5-2x normal) or clotting time (2.5-3x control).

Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.

Contraindications

Severe thrombocytopenia; inability to perform coagulation tests; uncontrollable active bleeding; hypersensitivity to heparin, corn products, or any ingredient.

Warnings and precautions

Serious Warning: Fatal hemorrhages in pediatrics due to medication errors. Risk of hemorrhage at any site. Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT/HITT). Contains sodium metabisulfite.

What can be used instead?

Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

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. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.

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.

Why is there no price on this page?

Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.

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.
