Zawartość strony
Braki w dostawie
There are shortages of several risperidone prolonged-release suspension for injection products (Risperidone Teva, Risperdal Consta and Sperizak) in several EU Member States.
These medicines are used to treat schizophrenia in adults and are given as an injection into the muscle.
The companies producing Risperidone Teva, Risperdal Consta and Sperizak are experiencing manufacturing problems, which have led to shortages of these medicines.
The shortage of Risperdal Consta is expected to be resolved by the end of 2025. Those of Risperidone Teva and Sperizak are expected to continue until the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027.
The shortages are not related to a quality defect of the product or a safety issue.
The shortages affect several Member States where the products are marketed.
As the shortage situation is changing quickly, 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.
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 impacted marketing authorisation holders and alternative marketing authorisation holders to reduce the impact of the supply shortage and ensure a fair distribution of stock among the Member States.
The SPOC Working Party Supports EMA’s MSSG and monitors and reports events that could affect the supply of medicines in the EU.
