A Drug Identification Number (DIN) is a computer-generated eight digit number assigned by Health Canada to a drug product prior to being marketed in Canada. It uniquely identifies all drug products sold in a dosage form in Canada and is located on the label of prescription and over-the-counter drug products that have been evaluated and authorized for sale in Canada. A DIN uniquely identifies the following product characteristics:
* manufacturer
* product name
* active ingredient(s)
* strength(s) of active ingredient(s)
* pharmaceutical form, and
* route of administration.
Note: The number has a leading zero.
