Key facts

As of 10 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Desloratadin, covering 13 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2025-01-31 and has now been open for about 20 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 3 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by commercial decisions or discontinuation with 3. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-08-04; the earliest is 2026-11-12. 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: 9 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 (2025-01-31), with Spain following roughly 16 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.
