As of 8 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Lansoprazol, covering 18 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2023-06-16 and has now been open for about 39 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 6 of the 7 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-04-05; the earliest is 2026-09-29. Momentum is current, not historical: 5 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Sweden reported first (2023-06-16), with Austria following roughly 36 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.
