As of 5 September 2026, 5 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Furosemide, covering 14 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Spain on 2022-06-14 and has now been open for about 51 months. Where agencies state a cause, active-ingredient (API) supply issues lead with 3 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 3. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-16; the earliest is 2026-10-31. Notably, 2 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: 3 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Spain reported first (2022-06-14), with Italy following roughly 40 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
