Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 3 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Silodosina, covering 6 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-03-29 and has now been open for about 29 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 3 of the 4 stated-cause reports, followed by delivery delays with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-10-07; the earliest is 2026-08-10. 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 (2024-03-29), with Spain following roughly 27 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Greece, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Silodosina is coded G04CA04 — a medicine acting on the genito-urinary system and sex hormones — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
