3 of the open register entries note alternatives, equivalents or another supply route (for example the same active substance from another maker, an alternative treatment or an import). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.

Where does this Ziprasidone availability data come from?

Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Ziprasidone: BASG (Austria), AEMPS CIMA (Spain), AIFA (Italy), Läkemedelsverket (Sweden). Every row on this page links to the official register it comes from (to the record itself where the register has a page for each record), and the day each register was read is shown on this page.
