Key facts

As of 9 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Paroxetina, covering 9 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2022-10-24 and has now been open for about 47 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 5 of the 5 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-04-30; the earliest is 2026-12-29. Momentum is current, not historical: 3 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 (2022-10-24), with Austria following roughly 45 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
