Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 5 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Tolterodine tartrate, covering 18 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Ireland on 2025-01-08 and has now been open for about 19 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 3 of the 7 stated-cause reports, followed by quality issues with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2028-01-03; the earliest is 2026-08-21. 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: 2 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Ireland reported first (2025-01-08), with Austria following roughly 15 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Spain, Ireland, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Tolterodine tartrate is coded G04BD07 — a medicine acting on the genito-urinary system and sex hormones — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
