MedShort.ca

MedShort.ca is an independent tool that helps Canadians track drug shortages and discontinuations across the country. Users can search any medication by name or DIN to check its current shortage status, and save drugs they care about to receive email notifications when their status changes. The platform sources all shortage and discontinuation data directly from Health Canada's official Health Product Shortages database and updates records regularly. The service emphasizes that it is not affiliated with Health Canada, does not provide medical advice, and recommends users consult with a pharmacist or healthcare provider before making any treatment changes.
