As of 11 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Vancomycinhydrochlorid, covering 3 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Germany on 2025-01-15 and has now been open for about 20 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 1 of the 2 stated-cause reports, followed by delivery delays with 1. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-16; the earliest is 2026-11-30. 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: Germany reported first (2025-01-15), with Greece following roughly 20 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, Greece indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Vancomycinhydrochlorid is coded J01XA01 — a medicine acting on anti-infectives for systemic use — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
