NU-METOPROLOL (TYPE L) 100 MG — DIN 02337363
METOPROLOL TARTRATE : 100 MG · NU-PHARM INC · TABLET · wholesale supply in Canada
Health Canada status: CANCELLED (UNRETURNED ANNUAL)
What is NU-METOPROLOL (TYPE L)?
NU-METOPROLOL (TYPE L) 100 MG contains METOPROLOL TARTRATE : 100 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02337363, held by NU-PHARM INC, supplied as TABLET for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as cancelled (unreturned annual), status dated 28-Mar-2018. 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 NU-METOPROLOL (TYPE L) used for?
Mild or moderate hypertension; long-term treatment of angina pectoris; treatment of hemodynamically stable patients with definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction to reduce mortality.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Metoprolol cost around the world?
Metoprolol is listed on 3 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Czechia publishes a max producer price (ex-factory); Luxembourg publishes a reimbursement. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Czechia | max producer price (ex-factory) | 7 | 31 |
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 12 | 24 |
| Luxembourg | reimbursement | 2 | 2 |
57 pack listings across 21 brand entries and 3 price bases, refreshed 05 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Metoprolol 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 Metoprolol 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.
28 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Metoprolol, across 103 DINs, of which 30 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.

How is it administered?
Hypertension: Individual titration required. Angina: Long-term treatment. Myocardial Infarction: Oral treatment can begin within 3 to 10 days of the acute event. SR tablets for 8-24h coverage.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.

Hypersensitivity; sinus bradycardia; sick sinus syndrome; 2nd/3rd degree A-V block; right ventricular failure; overt heart failure; cardiogenic shock; severe peripheral arterial disorders; anesthesia.
Warnings and precautions
Cardiac failure risk; avoid abrupt cessation (exacerbation of angina/MI); oculomucocutaneous syndrome; severe sinus bradycardia; masks thyrotoxicosis/hypoglycemia; bronchospastic disease caution.
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.
What else is NU-METOPROLOL (TYPE L) called?
The same molecule, Metoprolol, 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 |
|---|---|---|
| BETALOC ZOK | Latin | Czechia |
| EGILOK | Latin | Czechia |
| HYPABLO | Latin | Czechia |
| BLOXAZOC | Latin | Czechia |
| BETALOC SR | Latin | Czechia |
| METOPROLOL MEDREG | Latin | Czechia |
| BETALOC | Latin | Czechia |
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.
What is Metoprolol called in other languages?
Buyers, prescribers and procurement teams outside Canada often search for the ingredient in their own script. These are phonetic renderings of the ingredient name Metoprolol, published to help those searches reach this page.
| Language | Metoprolol |
|---|---|
| Arabic العربية | ميتوبرولول |
| Chinese (Simplified) 简体中文 | 美托洛尔 |
| Russian Русский | Метопролол |
| Spanish Español | Metoprolol |
| Portuguese Português | Metoprolol |
| German Deutsch | Metoprolol |
| Japanese 日本語 | メトプロロール |
These are transliterations of the ingredient name, generated automatically and published only where two independent checks agreed. They are not registered local trade names and carry no marketing authorisation in any market. Always confirm a product against its local registration before ordering.
Can this still be bought in Canada?
No. This Drug Identification Number is cancelled (unreturned annual) 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.
