Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 3 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Calcitriol, covering 13 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-04-19 and has now been open for about 28 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 6 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-08-19. Momentum is current, not historical: 6 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 (2024-04-19), with Spain following roughly 27 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Calcitriol is coded A11CC04 — a medicine acting on alimentary tract and metabolism — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
