As of 9 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Liraglutide, covering 4 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2023-07-01 and has now been open for about 38 months. Where agencies state a cause, commercial decisions or discontinuation lead with 1 of the 1 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-03-31; the earliest is 2027-03-31. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. Momentum is current, not historical: 2 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 (2023-07-01), with Germany following roughly 36 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, EU-wide, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
