Is this DIN a narcotic?
Type any Canadian DIN. See the product, its federal drug schedule, whether it is still marketed, and what that means for your count.

Where the answer comes from
Every result is read live from Health Canada’s Drug Product Database and kept for at most a day. The schedule shown is the one Health Canada lists for the product — NARCOTICS (CDSA I), CONTROLLED DRUGS (CDSA III), TARGETED SUBSTANCES (CDSA IV) and so on — shortened, never guessed. Cancelled and dormant DINs are included, because they still turn up on a shelf and in old records.
Only what you type is sent to Health Canada; nothing about you goes with it.
Counting these by hand? NarcCount reconciles every controlled DIN on your shelf.
