Using a shortage report
Does a shortage report mean my pharmacy cannot obtain the product?
No. It is information about the named product and period. Actual supply to your pharmacy also depends on the exact German product identifier, supplier responses and available stock. Check those separately.
Source and reporting date
A selected reporting snapshot, not real-time supplier availability. BfArM and PEI publish information reported by pharmaceutical companies. An expected end date is not a confirmed delivery commitment. Check the current BfArM record and the supplier's response.
Medicine recalls, batch recalls and batch checks are based on publicly available AMK notices. Check the original AMK notice for affected batches and required actions.
This selection reflects the documented retrieval and is not a complete list of shortages. Reports may change. The BfArM database generally has no additional delivery-status information; enquiries should go to the pharmaceutical company concerned.
