Fluticasone Inhalation Spray Shortage Ends for Animals
Summary
Läkemedelsverket (Swedish Medicines Agency) announced on 20 April 2026 that the long-standing shortage of fluticasone inhalation spray for animals is over. Supply is now assessed as sufficient, and the previous recommendation to veterinary healthcare to restrict prescribing no longer applies. The agency states that new reported sales suspensions may arise and can be tracked via its searchable service updated daily.
“Tillgången bedöms nu vara tillräcklig och den tidigare uppmaningen från Läkemedelsverket till djursjukvården att begränsa förskrivningen gäller inte längre.”

What changed
Läkemedelsverket has ended its shortage alert for fluticasone inhalation spray used in animal health, confirming on 20 April 2026 that supply levels are now adequate. The previous recommendation to veterinary healthcare providers to limit prescribing of this product is rescinded as of this notice. This change removes a prior supply restriction but does not impose new obligations on veterinarians or animal health facilities.
Veterinary healthcare providers and animal hospitals that had been restricting use of fluticasone inhalation spray may resume normal prescribing practices. Suppliers and distributors should continue monitoring Läkemedelsverkets publicly available sales suspension database, which is updated daily, to track any emerging supply interruptions for this or other veterinary medicines.
