Key facts

As of 8 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Deferasirox, covering 11 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2022-12-21 and has now been open for about 45 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 4 of the 7 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-10-04; the earliest is 2026-09-29. 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: 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 (2022-12-21), with Spain following roughly 40 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.
