Search drugs authorised for sale in CANADA by brand name, from Health Canada’s Drug Product Database. Returns each product’s DIN (Drug Identification Number), brand name, company, human/veterinary class and last update. Answers “is Tylenol approved in Canada”, “Canadian drugs called Advil”, “find the DIN for X”. This is CANADIAN marketing authorisation only — for US approvals and labels use the openfda or dailymed packs. Matching is a partial, case-insensitive match on the brand name. Example: health_canada_search_drugs({ brand_name: “ACTIFED” }); health_canada_search_drugs({ brand_name: “tylenol”, limit: 20 }). Keyless.
