As of 5 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Citalopram, covering 9 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2023-10-19 and has now been open for about 35 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 2027-05-09; the earliest is 2026-11-01. Momentum is current, not historical: 5 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 (2023-10-19), with Sweden following roughly 34 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
