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.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to alfuzosin; moderate to severe hepatic insufficiency; combination with other alpha1-blockers; combination with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir).
Warnings and precautions
Rule out prostatic carcinoma before therapy. Risk of postural hypotension/syncope, especially at start. Caution in patients with QTc prolongation or coronary insufficiency. Risk of IFIS in surgery.
What can be used instead?
Other Canadian products sharing ATC code G04CA01 ALFUZOSIN. 6 of 8 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 ALFUZOSIN worldwide?
Nexara tracks national medicine registries and published price lists across multiple markets. ALFUZOSIN appears in 46 registered pack listings across 11 markets, published on 9 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 ALFUZOSIN cost around the world?
ALFUZOSIN is listed on 8 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. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Greece publishes a producer price (ex-factory); Hungary publishes a producer price (ex-factory). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sweden | AIP (pharmacy purchase price) | 6 | 13 | SEK███.██ |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 8 | 8 | EUR███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 7 | 7 | SAR███.██ |
| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 4 | 4 | HUF███.██ |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 1 | 2 | AUD███.██ |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 2 | 2 | GBP███.██ |
| Romania | max producer price | 2 | 2 | RON███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 2 | 2 | ZAR███.██ |
40 pack listings across 32 brand entries and 7 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every ALFUZOSIN 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?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs.

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.
