Shortage ATC C01CA24 · also listed as: EPINEPHRIN · EPINEPHRINE · EPINEFRINA · data refreshed 11 September 2026
As of 11 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Epinephrine, covering 7 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2023-09-27 and has now been open for about 36 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 2 of the 5 stated-cause reports, followed by commercial decisions or discontinuation with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-01-01; the earliest is 2026-11-01. 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 (2023-09-27), with Greece following roughly 33 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Greece, Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Epinephrine is coded C01CA24 — a medicine acting on the cardiovascular system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
