As of 14 November 2026 (Greece: list dated 31 October 2026, posted 9 November 2026), 5 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Dinoproston, covering 9 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Germany on 2025-07-21; it had been open for about 16 months on the day the register was read. Where a register states a cause, the most common is manufacturing problems: 4 of the 7 reports that state one, followed by active-ingredient (API) supply issues with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date on file is 2027-02-28; the earliest is 2026-11-30. On the day the register was read, 1 report had passed its expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments.

The registers in Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden note alternatives, equivalents or another supply route — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.

Yes. As of 14 November 2026 (Greece: list dated 31 October 2026, posted 9 November 2026), availability issues are reported in: Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Sweden. Availability is national — a shortage in one country does not mean it is short everywhere.
Agency prognoses on file range from 2026-11-30 to 2027-02-28. Such dates are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.
5 of the open register entries note alternatives, equivalents or another supply route (for example the same active substance from another maker, an alternative treatment or an import). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.
Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Dinoproston: BASG (Austria), BfArM (Germany), ANSM (France), EOF limited-availability list (Greece), AIFA (Italy), Läkemedelsverket (Sweden). Every row on this page links to the official register it comes from (to the record itself where the register has a page for each record), and the day each register was read is shown on this page. Names appear as each register spells them, so the same substance can also appear under another spelling on a separate page.
