As of 5 September 2026, 4 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Prasugrel, covering 6 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-04-19 and has now been open for about 29 months.

The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-03-01; the earliest is 2026-10-31. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Italy reported first (2024-04-19), with Austria following roughly 25 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
