Couldn’t tell you about inpatient hospital use. Outside of hospital, it’s covered by the public drug plan in Ontario if you’ve failed (or have allergies to) vancomycin treatment.

Metronidazole is still first line under that program for “mild” cases, otherwise it’s vanco. But nobody is really checking, so it comes down to how your doctor wants to document it.

Private drug coverage will vary in their rules.
