Health Canada — Drug Product Database (DPD)

Canadian regulatory layer (CLAUDE.md §13, jurisdiction CA / authority Health Canada): every human drug product of the Drug Product Database whose therapeutic class is ATC L01 (antineoplastic agents), L02 (endocrine therapy), L03 (immunostimulants) or V10 (therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals) — one DIN-level record per product with its active ingredient(s), brand, market status and dates. Active ingredients are reconciled to CancerIndex drugs by alias (salt forms fold onto the molecule); unknown molecules are minted. The DPD does not publish indications: no cancer is ever inferred from an ATC class.
