Mangel på lager
There is a shortage of NexoBrid in some EU/EEA Member States.
NexoBrid is a medicine used for removing eschar (dead tissue which is dried out, thick, leathery and black) due to skin burns caused by heat or fire.
For further information on the use of the medicine, please refer to the medicine’s overview page.
In October 2025, MediWound Ltd., the manufacturer of NexoBrid, found a problem with a test used to check that the production of NexoBrid 5 g is sterile (clean and free from germs). The company is investigating the issue and, as a precautionary measure, has temporarily suspended the distribution of NexoBrid 5 g in the EU.
This has resulted in a temporary shortage of NexoBrid. In addition, the company has withdrawn NexoBrid 2 g from the EU market due to commercial reasons.
The shortage affects some of the Member States where the product is marketed: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden.
This information may change. For up-to-date information about the status of a medicine shortage in a particular Member State, consult the national shortage register or contact the national competent authority using the below links.
EMA’s Executive Steering Group on Shortages and Safety of Medicinal Products (MSSG) and EMA’s shortages working party (Medicines Shortages Single Point of Contact – SPOC - Working Party) are closely monitoring the supply situation and engaging with the marketing authorisation holder to mitigate the impact of the supply shortage.
The SPOC Working Party Supports EMA’s MSSG and monitors and reports events that could affect the supply of medicines in the EU.
- There is an ongoing shortage of NexoBrid in some EU/EEA Member States which is expected to last until June 2026.
- If NexoBrid is not available, patients should be managed according to standard of care for wound treatment, including appropriate surgical debridement where indicated and the use of suitable wound dressings. Clinical management should be based on individual patient needs and current clinical guidelines.
- For additional information consult your country’s shortage register or contact your national competent authority.
