`health_canada_drugs_by_ingredient`

Pack: health-canada-drugs · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/health-canada-drugs/mcp

Find Canadian drug products containing a given active ingredient, from Health Canada’s Drug Product Database — every product whose formulation lists that ingredient, with its strength and the product it belongs to. Answers “which Canadian drugs contain acetaminophen”, “products with metformin approved in Canada”, “what contains ingredient X in Canada”. Ingredient names are the official ones and are matched as a partial, case-insensitive match (“ACETAMINOPHEN”, “METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE”). Canadian authorisations only. Example: health_canada_drugs_by_ingredient({ ingredient: “ACETAMINOPHEN”, limit: 20 }). Keyless.

Parameters
