Lakosamid currently has availability issues reported in 3 European registers: Spain, Italy, Sweden.
Shortage ATC — · also listed as: LACOSAMIDA · LACOSAMIDE · lakosamid · data refreshed 5 September 2026
As of 5 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Lakosamid, covering 29 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2023-08-07 and has now been open for about 37 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 7 of the 11 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-03-31; the earliest is 2026-09-10. 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: 9 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 (2023-08-07), with Sweden following roughly 26 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.

Yes. As of 5 September 2026, availability issues are reported in: Spain, Italy, Sweden. Availability is national — a shortage in one country does not mean it is short everywhere.
Agency prognoses on file range from 2026-09-10 to 2027-03-31. These are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.
29 of the active register entries indicate alternatives or equivalents (same active substance or an alternative treatment). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.
Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Lakosamid: AEMPS CIMA (Spain), AIFA (Italy), 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.
