Key facts

As of 11 September 2026, 2 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Filgrastim, covering 6 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Greece on 2026-04-24 and has now been open for about 5 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 2 of the 3 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-10-31; the earliest is 2026-10-31. 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: 4 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. Registers in Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Filgrastim is coded L03AA02 — a medicine acting on antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
