What is POSANOL?

It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02293404, held by MERCK CANADA INC, supplied as SUSPENSION for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 18-Mar-2011.

What is POSANOL used for?
Prophylaxis of Aspergillus and Candida infections in patients who are at high risk of developing these infections, such as patients with prolonged neutropenia or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Treatment of invasive aspergillosis in patients with disease that is refractory to amphotericin B or itraconazole, or in patients who are intolerant of these medicinal products. Treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC).
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Posaconazole cost around the world?
Posaconazole is listed on 10 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.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 8 | 11 | CZK███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 8 | 11 | SAR███.██ |
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 5 | 8 | EUR███.██ |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 7 | 7 | AUD███.██ |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 6 | 6 | EUR███.██ |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 4 | 4 | GBP███.██ |

| South Africa | single exit price | 2 | 2 | ZAR███.██ |
56 pack listings across 46 brand entries and 9 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Posaconazole 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 Posaconazole 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.
7 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Posaconazole, across 9 DINs, of which 8 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MERCK CANADA INC | 3 | 3 | POSANOL | Sourceable in Canada |
| GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS CANADA INC. | 1 | 1 | GLN-POSACONAZOLE | Sourceable in Canada |
| JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION | 1 | 1 | JAMP POSACONAZOLE | Sourceable in Canada |
| MINT PHARMACEUTICALS INC | 1 | 1 | MINT-POSACONAZOLE | Sourceable in Canada |

| APOTEX INC | 1 | 0 | APO-POSACONAZOLE | 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 | 200 MG / 5 ML |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SUSPENSION |
| Route | ORAL |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Solution for Injection: 16.7 mL solution (18 mg/mL; 300 mg/vial) in Type I glass vials. Delayed-Release Tablets: 60 tablets in a 120 mL white HDPE bottle. Oral Suspension: 105 mL of oral suspension in a 123 mL bottle with a measuring spoon. |
| Storage | Once admixed, the solution can be stored up to 24 hours refrigerated 2°-8°C. Equilibrate to room temperature. |
| 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, because this listing covers more than one of them.
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.

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.
