Human drugs and biocides including drugs for clinical trials
Health Canada regulates drugs for people, including drugs for clinical trials and for special access, and biocides such as surface disinfectants and sanitizers. During the move to the Biocides Regulations, a biocide's existing drug identification number or pest control registration number is accepted in place of its biocide identification number.
