Shortage ATC G04CB02 · also listed as: DUTASTERIDE · data refreshed 10 September 2026
As of 10 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Dutasteride, covering 7 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2023-06-30 and has now been open for about 39 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 3 of the 7 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 3. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-12-31. 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: 3 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 (2023-06-30), with Greece following roughly 36 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Dutasteride is coded G04CB02 — a medicine acting on the genito-urinary system and sex hormones — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
