Key facts

As of 21 September 2026, 4 of the 8 tracked registers list current availability issues for Dabigatran etexilato, covering 20 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Spain on 2025-10-30 and has now been open for about 11 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 8 of the 10 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-15; the earliest is 2026-10-06. Momentum is current, not historical: 10 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Spain reported first (2025-10-30), with Germany following roughly 6 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, Dabigatran etexilato is coded B01AE07 — a medicine acting on blood and blood-forming organs — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
