Frequently asked

Is Apixaban currently in shortage in Europe?

Yes. As of 14 November 2026, availability issues are reported in: Sweden. Availability is national — a shortage in one country does not mean it is short everywhere.

When is the Apixaban shortage expected to end?

The agency prognosis on file is 2026-11-23. Such dates are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.

Are there alternatives to Apixaban?

17 of the open register entries note alternatives, equivalents or another supply route (for example the same active substance from another maker, an alternative treatment or an import). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.

Where does this Apixaban availability data come from?

Directly from the official medicines-agency register that lists Apixaban: Läkemedelsverket (Sweden). Every row on this page links to the official register it comes from (to the record itself where the register has a page for each record), and the day each register was read is shown on this page. Names appear as each register spells them, so the same substance can also appear under another spelling on a separate page.
