LACTULOSE : 667 MG · PHARMEL INC · SOLUTION · wholesale supply in Canada
Health Canada status: CANCELLED PRE MARKET
What is PHL-LACTULOSE SOLN 667MG/ML?
PHL-LACTULOSE SOLN 667MG/ML 667 MG contains LACTULOSE : 667 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02266415, held by PHARMEL INC, supplied as SOLUTION for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as cancelled pre market, status dated 13-Sep-2017. 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.
How much does Lactulose cost around the world?
Lactulose is listed on 7 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); Brazil publishes a preco fabrica (ex-factory ceiling); Morocco publishes a PPV (public 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 | 4 | 33 | USD███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 12 | 15 | SAR███.██ |
| Brazil | preco fabrica (ex-factory ceiling) | 5 | 13 | BRL███.██ |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 5 | 9 | MAD███.██ |
| United Arab Emirates | public | 6 | 7 | AED███.██ |
| Bahrain | retail (max) | 5 | 5 | BHD███.██ |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 3 | 3 | GBP███.██ |
85 pack listings across 40 brand entries and 6 price bases, refreshed 05 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Lactulose 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 Lactulose 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.
20 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Lactulose, across 28 DINs, of which 5 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.

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.

What else is PHL-LACTULOSE SOLN 667MG/ML called?
The same molecule, Lactulose, 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:

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 pre 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.
