As of 15 September 2026, 4 of the 8 tracked registers list current availability issues for Capecitabina, covering 8 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2023-05-26 and has now been open for about 40 months. Where agencies state a cause, delivery delays lead with 2 of the 4 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-09-29. 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 (2023-05-26), with Spain following roughly 37 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Greece, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Capecitabina is coded L01BC06 — a medicine acting on antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.

6 of the active register entries indicate alternatives or equivalents (same active substance or an alternative treatment). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.
