ProhibitedNot authorised; Health Canada named retatrutide among unauthorised injectable drugs it has seized (April 2026)
Supply is banned or actively enforced against.
Retatrutide has no Health Canada authorisation and does not appear in the Drug Product Database. Health Canada's public advisory of 2026-04-09 lists retatrutide among examples of unauthorised injectable peptide drugs it has seized, says unauthorised drugs are illegal in Canada, and says 'For Research Use Only' labels do not make products legal. Retatrutide was also named in the Canada Peptide (2025-08-01) and Rize Fitness (2025-12-24) seizure notices. Health Canada is working with the Canada Border Services Agency to stop such shipments.
