It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02297884, held by GLAXOSMITHKLINE INC, supplied as POWDER FOR SOLUTION for INTRAMUSCULAR ; SUBCUTANEOUS administration.

What is PRIORIX-TETRA used for?
PRIORIX-TETRA (combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine, live, attenuated) is indicated for active immunization against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella in individuals from 9 months to 6 years of age. Efficacy has not been evaluated in subjects above 6 years of age. PRIORIX-TETRA may be used in individuals up to 12 years of age based upon previous experience with the separate component vaccines, PRIORIX (combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, live, attenuated) and VARILRIX [varicella virus vaccine, live, attenuated (OKA - strain)].
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated cost around the world?
Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated is listed on 3 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. Iceland publishes a max wholesale; Saudi Arabia publishes a public; South Africa publishes a single exit 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | public | 6 | 7 | SAR███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 2 | 2 | ZAR███.██ |
| Iceland | max wholesale | 1 | 1 | ISK███.██ |
10 pack listings across 9 brand entries and 3 price bases, refreshed 02 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated 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 Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated 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 Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated, across 2 DINs, of which 2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLAXOSMITHKLINE INC | 1 | 1 | PRIORIX-TETRA | Sourceable in Canada |
| MERCK CANADA INC | 1 | 1 | PROQUAD | Sourceable in Canada |
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 | 1000 CCID50 / 0.5 ML |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | POWDER FOR SOLUTION |
| Route | INTRAMUSCULAR ; SUBCUTANEOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 1, 10, or 100 mono dose vials |
| Storage | Store PRIORIX-TETRA (combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine, live, attenuated) at 2 to 8°C (in a refrigerator). Do not freeze. Store in the original packaging in order to protect from light. The reconstituted vaccine should be administered as soon as possible. It may be kept up to 8 hours in the refrigerator (2 to 8°C). |
| 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.

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.
1 · Same molecule, other Canadian presentations
2 of 2 Canadian DINs for this molecule are currently marketed. Marketed products are listed first.

2 · Same class — other molecules in ATC J07BD
| Molecule | Canadian brands | DINs | Marketed | Sourceable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Measles, Combin. With Mumps And Rubella, Live Attenuated | M-M-R II · PRIORIX | 2 | 2 | Yes |

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.
What else is PRIORIX-TETRA called?
The same molecule, Measles, Combinations With Mumps, Rubella And Varicella, Live Attenuated, 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:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| ProQuad | Latin | Iceland, Saudi Arabia |
| Rouvax | Latin | Saudi Arabia, South Africa |
| MEASBIO | Latin | South Africa |
| Priorix | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
| PRIORIX-TETRA VACCINE | Latin | Saudi Arabia |
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.
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.
