TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE INJECTION USP 100 MG — DIN 02246063
TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE : 100 MG · SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED · LIQUID · wholesale supply in Canada
Health Canada status: CANCELLED POST MARKET
What is TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE INJECTION USP?
TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE INJECTION USP 100 MG contains TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE : 100 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02246063, held by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, supplied as LIQUID for INTRAMUSCULAR administration. Health Canada currently lists it as cancelled post market, status dated 25-Mar-2021. This Drug Identification Number is no longer authorized for sale in Canada, so Nexara does not supply it. The record is kept here because buyers still meet the number on old formularies, purchase orders and tender documents; Nexara can help identify an authorized alternative.
What is TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE INJECTION USP used for?
Testosterone replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone (hypogonadism).
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Testosterone cost around the world?
Testosterone 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. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Bahrain publishes a retail (max). 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.

| United States | acquisition | 10 | 34 | USD███.██ |
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 6 | 12 | CZK███.██ |

89 pack listings across 54 brand entries and 11 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Testosterone pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
This table is a regulatory record of where the molecule is listed. The DIN on this page is no longer authorized for sale in Canada, so Nexara does not quote it — see the alternatives above.
Is there a generic Testosterone 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.
15 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Testosterone, across 27 DINs, of which 10 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

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 | 100 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | LIQUID |
| Route | INTRAMUSCULAR |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Vials (implied by "warming and shaking the vial"); specific pack sizes not provided in text. |
| Storage | Store at 15-30°C (implied by USP standards and "warming... to redissolve crystals"). Specific range not explicitly stated in text but standard for USP. |
Pack detail is kept as a regulatory record. This DIN is no longer authorized for sale in Canada, so Nexara does not quote this pack.

Health Canada record and identifiers
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.

How is it administered?
For intramuscular use only. Recommended dose for hypogonadal males: 200 mg every two weeks. Maximum dose: 400 mg per month. Administer deep in the gluteal muscle.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.
Contraindications
Women (especially pregnancy); known/suspected prostate or breast carcinoma; hypersensitivity to any ingredients (including soy-synthesized testosterone).
Warnings and precautions
Risk of serious cardiovascular events (MI, stroke); monitor for prostate cancer; risk of polycythemia; potential for abuse/dependence; not for athletic performance enhancement.
Is Testosterone in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Resolved — reported by HIKMA CANADA LIMITED, last seen 09 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?
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.

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.
