Health Canada status: CANCELLED POST MARKET
What is SUSTIVA TABLETS?
SUSTIVA TABLETS 600 MG contains EFAVIRENZ : 600 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02246045, held by BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB CANADA, supplied as TABLET for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as cancelled post market, status dated 28-Oct-2022. 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 SUSTIVA TABLETS used for?
SUSTIVA (efavirenz) is indicated for the treatment of HIV - 1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Efavirenz cost around the world?
Efavirenz is listed on 12 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. Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Belgium publishes a public; Brazil publishes a preco fabrica (ex-factory ceiling). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Africa | single exit price | 45 | 50 | ZAR███.██ |
| Sweden | AIP (pharmacy purchase price) | 8 | 12 | SEK███.██ |
| Belgium | public | 6 | 6 | EUR███.██ |

| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 1 | HUF███.██ |
97 pack listings across 81 brand entries and 11 price bases, refreshed 07 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Efavirenz 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 Efavirenz 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 Efavirenz, across 8 DINs, of which 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AURO PHARMA INC | 1 | 1 | AURO-EFAVIRENZ | Sourceable in Canada |
| MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS ULC | 1 | 1 | MYLAN-EFAVIRENZ | Sourceable in Canada |
| TEVA CANADA LIMITED | 1 | 1 | TEVA-EFAVIRENZ | Sourceable in Canada |

| JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION | 1 | 0 | JAMP-EFAVIRENZ | 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 | 600 MG |

| Dosage form | TABLET |
| Route | ORAL |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | null |

Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

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.

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.

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.
Can this still be bought in Canada?
No. This Drug Identification Number is cancelled post market in Health Canada's Drug Product Database, so the product is no longer authorized for sale in Canada and Nexara does not supply it. This page is kept as a regulatory record.

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.
