Shortage ATC L01CA03 · also listed as: Vindesinsulfat · vindesine · data refreshed 11 September 2026
As of 11 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Vindesine, covering 3 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Germany on 2023-10-23 and has now been open for about 35 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 1 of the 1 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-11-30; the earliest is 2026-11-30. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Germany reported first (2023-10-23), with Greece following roughly 33 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Germany, EU-wide indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Vindesine is coded L01CA03 — a medicine acting on antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
