Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Fluorouracil: AEMPS CIMA (Spain), EMA shortages catalogue (EU), EOF limited-availability list (Greece), Läkemedelsverket (Sweden). Every row on this page links to the underlying official record, and the dataset is refreshed from the primary sources every morning. Cross-language matching groups the same active substance across registers, so national spellings all resolve to this page.
