Key facts

As of 5 November 2026, 6 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Oxaliplatin, covering 13 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2025-02-24 and has now been open for about 21 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 5 of the 9 stated-cause reports, followed by commercial decisions or discontinuation with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-11-21. 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: 4 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 (2025-02-24), with Greece following roughly 17 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Oxaliplatin is coded L01XA03 — a medicine acting on antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
