← European Medicine Shortage Tracker
Availability information only — Mobi Doctor doesn't sell medicines; check with a pharmacy.
Portugal has no open national shortage register, so this page shows the EU-wide catalogue from EMA shortages catalogue (EU), which applies in Portugal as in every EU member state · updated 8 October 2026
The EMA catalogue lists shortages assessed at EU level — typically critical, multi-country cases for centrally authorised medicines. A medicine missing from this list can still be hard to find locally in Portugal: for what you can actually collect, ask a pharmacist, who sees wholesaler availability in real time. Never stop a treatment on your own — confirm any switch with your pharmacist or prescriber.
