The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) publishes a list of medicines currently in short supply on its website with the reason for the shortage and expected dates for the return of supply. This information is dynamic and changes depending on the current information the HPRA has to hand, including removal from the list when a shortage has been resolved.
The list of shortages in tabular form is publicly available and can be found here: www.hpra.ie/homepage/medicines/medicines-information/medicines-shortages
