Who else supplies DEXMEDETOMIDINE worldwide?

DEXMEDETOMIDINE appears in 45 registered pack listings across 6 markets, published on 5 different national price bases. Where a Canadian route is closed, that is where an alternative route of supply starts — subject to the import rules in both countries.

How can I get it?

This product is approved by Health Canada but not yet marketed in Canada, so there is no Canadian supply to draw on today. Nexara can tell you whether it has been launched, and can look at supply from other markets where a Canadian pack is not required or where importation is permitted.
