As of 8 September 2026, 5 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Clopidogrel besilate, covering 12 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2025-02-10 and has now been open for about 19 months. Where agencies state a cause, distribution or shipping problems lead with 1 of the 2 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-12-31; the earliest is 2026-09-10. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. Momentum is current, not historical: 4 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 (2025-02-10), with Sweden following roughly 17 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
