Yes. As of 14 September 2026, availability issues are reported in: Austria, Spain, Greece, Sweden. Availability is national — a shortage in one country does not mean it is short everywhere.
Agency prognoses on file range from 2026-10-05 to 2027-02-28. These are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.
4 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 Linezolid: BASG (Austria), BfArM (Germany), AEMPS CIMA (Spain), 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.
