BACITRACIN : 50000 UNIT · STERIMAX INC · POWDER FOR SOLUTION · wholesale supply in Canada
Health Canada status: MARKETED
What is BACIJECT?
BACIJECT 50000 UNIT contains BACITRACIN : 50000 UNIT. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02245571, held by STERIMAX INC, supplied as POWDER FOR SOLUTION for TOPICAL ; INTRAMUSCULAR administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 28-Aug-2003. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is BACIJECT used for?
BaciJect (Bacitracin for Injection USP) is indicated for: • The treatment of infants with pneumonia and empyema caused by staphylococci shown to be susceptible to the drug. • The treatment of secondarily infected wounds, ulcers, pyodermas and other superficial skin and eye infections when used as a topically applied solution.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Bacitracin cost around the world?
Bacitracin 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); Saudi Arabia publishes a public; South Africa publishes a single exit price. 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 | 1 | 6 | USD███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 5 | 5 | SAR███.██ |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 1 | CZK███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 1 | 1 | ZAR███.██ |
13 pack listings across 8 brand entries and 4 price bases, refreshed 03 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Bacitracin 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.
Is there a generic Bacitracin 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.
5 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Bacitracin, across 5 DINs, of which 1 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STERIMAX INC | 1 | 1 | BACIJECT | Sourceable in Canada |
| AURO PHARMA INC | 1 | 0 | BACITRACIN FOR INJECTION, USP | No marketed DIN |
| EUGIA PHARMA INC. | 1 | 0 | BACITRACIN FOR INJECTION, USP | No marketed DIN |
| FRESENIUS KABI CANADA LTD | 1 | 0 | BACITRACIN FOR INJECTION | No marketed DIN |
| PFIZER CANADA ULC | 1 | 0 | BACITRACIN USP | No marketed DIN |
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 label | 50000 UNIT |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | POWDER FOR SOLUTION |
| Route | TOPICAL ; INTRAMUSCULAR |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 20 mL Vial |
| Storage | Store unreconstituted bacitracin in a refrigerator 2°C to 8°C. Solutions are rapidly inactivated at room temperature but are stable for one week when stored in a refrigerator 2°C to 8°C. |
| Shipping class | Cold chain — validated shipper with temperature monitoring |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.
Cold chain. This product is stored refrigerated. Nexara ships it on a validated cold chain with temperature monitoring; a delivery address that cannot receive and store it at 2–8 °C on arrival must be flagged before the order is placed.

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.

Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
What else is BACIJECT called?
The same molecule, Bacitracin, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| BANEOCIN OINTMENT | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
| BATRAMYCIN POWDER | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
| MULTICIN-Z OINTMENT | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
| MULTICIN-Z POWDER | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
| OPHTHALMO-FRAMYKOIN | Latin | Czechia |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.
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. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where 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. 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.
