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 MISOPROSTOL in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Resolved — reported by AA PHARMA INC, last seen 04 Sep 2026. A shortage on one presentation does not always affect every DIN of the molecule — the alternatives below list what else is marketed in Canada. Nexara can confirm current availability and identify substitutions or import options where permitted.
What can be used instead?
Other Canadian products sharing ATC code A02BB01 MISOPROSTOL. 2 of 10 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.

Who else supplies MISOPROSTOL worldwide?
Nexara tracks national medicine registries and published price lists across multiple markets. MISOPROSTOL appears in 17 registered pack listings across 9 markets, published on 7 different national price bases. Where a Canadian route is closed, that is where an alternative route of supply starts — subject to the import rules in both countries.
Registered listings are not stock. Ask us to confirm what can actually be sourced for your order.
How much does MISOPROSTOL cost around the world?
MISOPROSTOL is listed on 9 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Brazil publishes a preco fabrica (ex-factory ceiling); Greece publishes a producer price (ex-factory); Norway publishes a max AUP (pharmacy retail). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | acquisition | 2 | 17 | USD███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 2 | 4 | ZAR███.██ |
| Brazil | preco fabrica (ex-factory ceiling) | 1 | 3 | BRL███.██ |
| Spain | PVP con IVA (public price) | 2 | 2 | EUR███.██ |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 2 | EUR███.██ |
| Norway | max AUP (pharmacy retail) | 2 | 2 | NOK███.██ |
| Romania | max producer price | 2 | 2 | RON███.██ |
| United Arab Emirates | public | 1 | 1 | AED███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 1 | 1 | SAR███.██ |
34 pack listings across 15 brand entries and 8 price bases, refreshed 07 Sep 2026. Ranges span every MISOPROSTOL pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.

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.
