Key facts

As of 12 September 2026, 6 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Aprepitant, covering 19 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2020-12-15 and has now been open for about 69 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 6 of the 12 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 3. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-07-30; the earliest is 2026-09-17. Momentum is current, not historical: 2 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Italy reported first (2020-12-15), with Austria following roughly 62 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Aprepitant is coded A04AD12 — a medicine acting on alimentary tract and metabolism — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
