Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 3 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Gliclazida, covering 7 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2025-01-31 and has now been open for about 19 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 4 of the 4 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-09-29; the earliest is 2026-09-29. 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 (2025-01-31), with Austria following roughly 17 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
