❓ Frequently asked questions
▸ What is BASG?
BASG is the Austrian national authority for medicines + medical devices, equivalent to the FDA at country scale. It runs the Austrian medicine shortage register.
▸ Why does BASG list shortages separately from EMA?
EMA covers centrally-authorised products only. BASG also covers Austrian nationally-authorised medicines + parallel-imports, which is most of the catalogue.
