Key facts

As of 9 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Ezetimibe, Atorvastatin, covering 8 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-09-30 and has now been open for about 24 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 4 of the 6 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-03-31; the earliest is 2026-09-30. Notably, 3 reports have already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. Momentum is current, not historical: 5 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 (2024-09-30), with Austria following roughly 23 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
