The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2024-03-19 and has now been open for about 30 months.

The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-11-30; the earliest is 2026-09-30. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Sweden reported first (2024-03-19), with Greece following roughly 29 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
