As of January 1st next year, a Drug Identification Number (DIN) will no longer be issued for natural health products (NHPs) under the Food and Drug Regulations in Canada. Instead, market authorization for a natural health product may be obtained by sending a Product License submission package to the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) to be approved under the NHP Regulations. The NHP Regulations and information needed to prepare a separate and complete product license submission became available in the middle of November on the NHPD website.
