As of 21 September 2026, 4 of the 8 tracked registers list current availability issues for Ziprasidone, covering 8 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Spain on 2026-03-10 and has now been open for about 6 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 2 of the 2 stated-cause reports. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-05-27; the earliest is 2026-09-30. Momentum is current, not historical: 4 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Spain reported first (2026-03-10), with Italy following roughly 6 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Ireland, Italy indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
