How do I report an adverse reaction in Canada?
You can report adverse reactions to Health Canada through the Canada Vigilance Program online or by calling 1-866-234-2345. Your report helps Health Canada identify safety issues with health products. Healthcare providers can also submit reports on your behalf.
Are natural health products included in recalls?

What does 'stop sale' mean for health products?

How do I find lot numbers on medications?

The lot number helps you determine if your specific product is affected by a recall. If you can't find it, ask your pharmacist for help. DINs, NPNs & lot numbers explained →
Can I get a replacement or refund for recalled health products?
