As of 7 August 2026, 3 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Spironolactone, covering 5 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2023-10-16 and has now been open for about 34 months. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-09-30; the earliest is 2026-09-30. Notably, 3 reports have already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. 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: Sweden reported first (2023-10-16), with Austria following roughly 33 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Ireland, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
