As of 7 August 2026, 4 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Telmisartan, covering 12 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2022-12-12 and has now been open for about 44 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 4 of the 8 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-02-22; the earliest is 2026-08-14. Momentum is current, not historical: 5 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 (2022-12-12), with Ireland following roughly 39 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Telmisartan is coded C09CA07 — a medicine acting on the cardiovascular system — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.

Agency prognoses on file range from 2026-08-14 to 2027-02-22. These are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.
12 of the active register entries indicate alternatives or equivalents (same active substance or an alternative treatment). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.
Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Telmisartan: BfArM (Germany), AEMPS CIMA (Spain), HPRA (Ireland), AIFA (Italy). Every row on this page links to the underlying official record, and the dataset is refreshed from the primary sources every morning. Cross-language matching groups the same active substance across registers, so national spellings all resolve to this page.
