Worth knowing

In Québec, a prescription written in France cannot be filled at a pharmacy; the Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec states this. For a common painkiller it is the molecule's name, rather than the brand's, that lets you ask the question at the counter. The table above shows what each registry publishes; the pharmacist confirms the product and dose that fit your situation.

Frequently asked

What is acetaminophen called in Canada?: The brand names in Canada are in the table above, as published by the official registry. The molecule's name is the one that is understood everywhere; it can be spelled differently — this sheet's subtitle shows it.
Can I swap my product for one in the table?: The table lists presentations at the same strength and route. Choosing a replacement is for the pharmacist or doctor who knows your situation.
Where does this data come from?: From each country's public registry, at the date shown in Sources. Kayu computes the matches; no authority publishes or endorses them.
