Shortage ATC C10AX09 · also listed as: EZETIMIB · EZETIMIBA · EZETIMIBE · data refreshed 7 August 2026
As of 7 August 2026, 7 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Ezetimibe, covering 15 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-04-18 and has now been open for about 28 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 5 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by delivery delays with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-03-31; the earliest is 2026-08-30. 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 (2024-04-18), with Ireland following roughly 28 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Ezetimibe is coded C10AX09 — a medicine acting on the cardiovascular system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
