In Canada, homeopathic medicines must obtain a Homeopathic Medicine Number from Health Canada. DIN-HM in Canada.
The DIN-HM number identifies the product as a homeopathic medicine and is mandatory to include on the product labeling in order to sell your product in Canada.
Proven Expertise. Companies that have put their faith in us to help them comply with regulatory requirements.
Homeopathic medicines are regulated in Canada in the same way that Natural Health Products (NHP) are. In the event that a product is categorized as a drug under the Food and Drugs Act and is marketed without a DIN, it does not comply with Health Canada requirements. Having a DIN-HM in Canada informs patients that the homeopathic medicine has been made in a way that ensures the product’s quality or if the label is comprehensive and correct.
In Canada, the Medicinal ingredient must be found in the homeopathic monograph and one of the homeopathic pharmacopoeias such as the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur) among others.
Homeopathic medicine labels must be bilingual (i.e. both in English and in French) because these languages are considered official in Canada.
Our Canadian homeopathic compliance experts provide turnkey solutions to meet regulatory compliance.
We'll help you in licensing for non-specific health claim based DIN-HM (class 1 NHP) and licensing for specific health claims (class 3 NHP). This includes preparing the necessary documentation for submission.
