Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 6 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Ezetimibe, Simvastatin, covering 24 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2021-02-28 and has now been open for about 66 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 13 of the 16 stated-cause reports, followed by delivery delays with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-11-30; the earliest is 2026-08-31. 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: 4 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 (2021-02-28), with Greece following roughly 66 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Ezetimibe, Simvastatin is coded C10BA02 — a medicine acting on the cardiovascular system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
