Key facts

As of 6 November 2026, 3 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Bilastina, covering 6 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Austria on 2025-06-02 and has now been open for about 17 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 4 of the 4 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-12-31; the earliest is 2027-12-31. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Austria reported first (2025-06-02), with Greece following roughly 12 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Bilastina is coded S01GX13 — a medicine acting on sensory organs — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
