Health Canada status: MARKETED

What is EVRA?

EVRA 200 MCG / 24 HOUR contains NORELGESTROMIN : 200 MCG / 24 HOUR ETHINYL ESTRADIOL : 35 MCG / 24 HOUR. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02248297, held by SEARCHLIGHT PHARMA INC, supplied as PATCH (EXTENDED RELEASE) for TRANSDERMAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 25-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 EVRA used for?

Prevention of pregnancy.

Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.

How much does Norelgestromin And Estrogen cost around the world?

Norelgestromin And Estrogen is listed on 2 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. Bahrain publishes a retail (max); Norway publishes a max AUP (pharmacy retail). 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.

Norwaymax AUP (pharmacy retail)11NOK███.██

2 pack listings across 2 brand entries and 2 price bases, refreshed 07 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Norelgestromin And Estrogen pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.

Figures are held for the Nexara team. Cross-market prices are published on incompatible bases and are not an offer, a landed cost, or a guide to what any buyer can obtain. Nexara publishes which markets list the product and on what basis; the numbers stay internal.

Team sign-in

Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.

Ask Nexara for a landed Canadian price

Is there a generic Norelgestromin And Estrogen 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.

2 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Norelgestromin And Estrogen, across 2 DINs, of which 1 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 label200 MCG / 24 HOUR
Dosage formPATCH (EXTENDED RELEASE)
RouteTRANSDERMAL
Pack configuration (monograph)Cartons containing 3 systems each. Each system is sealed within a protective pouch.
StorageStore at 15-30°C (implied by standard Canadian monograph sections, though specific text was truncated, the header for section 11 is present).

Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

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?

Apply one patch weekly for 3 weeks, followed by a 7-day patch-free interval. Apply to buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm, or upper torso. Do not exceed 7-day patch-free interval.

Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity; history of VTE, thrombophlebitis, or thromboembolic disorders; cardiovascular disease; liver disease/tumours; breast or estrogen-dependent cancer; undiagnosed vaginal bleeding; pregnancy.

Warnings and precautions

Increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Risk increases with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Smoking increases cardiovascular risk, especially in women over 35. Does not protect against STIs.

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.

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.
