temozolomide
Current shortage
The TGA records this medicine as being in shortage now. A shortage often affects some brands, strengths or pack sizes and not others, so a supply of the medicine may still be available. Your pharmacist can tell you what is in stock and what alternatives exist.
The TGA has assessed this shortage as low impact, meaning alternatives are generally available and most people can be managed without difficulty.
7 product records on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, listed in full below. The TGA last updated this information on 27 August 2026. Not medical advice.
The TGA does not publish a reason for a shortage, so Voxsanity cannot show one. Nothing on this page is an explanation of why supply is affected — that information is not in the source and is not inferred here.
This is national information. The TGA records shortages for Australia as a whole. There is no state, territory or pharmacy-level stock information in this data, and Voxsanity cannot tell you whether a particular pharmacy has a medicine in stock. Your pharmacist can.

Where this comes from
Source: Medicine Shortage Reports Database, Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), © Commonwealth of Australia, reproduced with permission. The TGA does not endorse Voxsanity, and nothing here is presented as a TGA view. Shortage information is free for everyone on this site, with no account and no subscription.
Every product listed above links to the TGA's own shortage record for that product. The TGA's register is organised by product rather than by medicine, so there is no single TGA page covering temozolomide as a whole; to see them together, open the TGA Medicine Shortage Reports Database and type temozolomide into its filter box. General information about medicine shortages is on the TGA's medicine shortages page.
