Shortage ATC N02CC01 · also listed as: SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINAT · Sumatriptansuccinat · SUMATRIPTAN · Sumatriptan succinate · data refreshed 9 September 2026
As of 9 September 2026, 6 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Sumatriptan succinate, covering 13 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2024-11-30 and has now been open for about 22 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 5 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by commercial decisions or discontinuation with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-05-06; the earliest is 2026-10-10. 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: 7 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 (2024-11-30), with Austria following roughly 20 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Sumatriptan succinate is coded N02CC01 — a medicine acting on the nervous system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
