Shortage ATC N05AD08 · also listed as: DROPERIDOL · DROPERIDOLO · data refreshed 10 September 2026
As of 10 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Droperidol, covering 4 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2025-03-31 and has now been open for about 18 months. Where agencies state a cause, delivery delays lead with 1 of the 2 stated-cause reports, followed by commercial decisions or discontinuation with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-12-21. 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: Sweden reported first (2025-03-31), with Italy following roughly 18 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Droperidol is coded N05AD08 — a medicine acting on the nervous system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
