Shortage ATC D11AX01 · also listed as: MINOXIDIL · data refreshed 11 September 2026
As of 11 September 2026, 5 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Minoxidil, covering 6 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Spain on 2026-05-28 and has now been open for about 4 months. Where agencies state a cause, commercial decisions or discontinuation lead with 2 of the 3 stated-cause reports, followed by delivery delays with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-11-26; the earliest is 2026-11-26. Notably, 2 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: 5 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Spain reported first (2026-05-28), with Italy following roughly 4 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. In the WHO ATC classification, Minoxidil is coded D11AX01 — a medicine acting on dermatologicals — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
