What else is ZINC STICK called?

| Name | Script | Registered in |

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.

Who else supplies COMBINATIONS OF PROTECTIVES AGAINST UV-RADIATION worldwide?

Registered listings are not stock. Ask us to confirm what can actually be sourced for your order.
How much does COMBINATIONS OF PROTECTIVES AGAINST UV-RADIATION cost around the world?
COMBINATIONS OF PROTECTIVES AGAINST UV-RADIATION is listed on 4 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. Czechia publishes a max producer price (ex-factory); Hungary publishes a producer price (ex-factory); Iceland publishes a max wholesale. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 5 | 5 | HUF███.██ |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 1 | CZK███.██ |
| Iceland | max wholesale | 1 | 1 | ISK███.██ |
| Luxembourg | reimbursement | 1 | 1 | EUR███.██ |
8 pack listings across 8 brand entries and 4 price bases, refreshed 05 Sep 2026. Ranges span every COMBINATIONS OF PROTECTIVES AGAINST UV-RADIATION 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.
How can I get it?
This product is approved by Health Canada but not yet marketed in Canada, so there is no Canadian supply to draw on today. Nexara can tell you whether it has been launched, and can look at supply from other markets where a Canadian pack is not required or where importation is 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.
