Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 5 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Rivaroxaban, covering 11 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-12-27 and has now been open for about 20 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 2 of the 3 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-09-29. 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: 8 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 (2024-12-27), with Germany following roughly 18 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Rivaroxaban is coded B01AF01 — a medicine acting on blood and blood-forming organs — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
