Czech term (edited):
větší dostupnost výpadkových a nedostupných léčivých přípravků
Selected
greater availability of medicinal products which [presently] are difficult to obtain or are unavaila
greater availability of medicinal products which [presently] are difficult to obtain or are unavailable.
Alternative: greater availability of medicinal products which [presently] are in short supply or are in fact unavailable.
(Other similar alternatives suggest themselves. I just offer these two because I deem them to be fairly idiomatic. However, I did not perform extensive English language linguistic research in the pharmaceuticals markets area.)

discontinued drugs
Intuition (usually misplaced) told me this meant “discontinued”.

Actually, probably not, but "short-supply drugs" seems to be a thing.

off-label drugs
From context, an by comparison of other use of the work výpadkový, see the web reference to "výpadkové fenomény (off-efekt)" below

Withdraw my off-label suggestion! Here's an answer from a Czech physician: Nejednou jsme hovořili o výpadkovém léku nebo výpadku léku.
Což znamenalo, že lék se stal v distribuci nedostupný, byl spotřebován,
nebylo zvládnuto doplnění. Také je možné, že lék je registrován v zahraničí
ale nikoliv v jiné zemi a tam může být pak výpadkovým.

: "off-label" refers to application of a drug to indication for which it is not authorized by regulatory authority. I doubt this is the case here.

I do realize that, but a literal "fall out" or "blackout (when talking of electricity :) ) would hardly apply. However, Stuart's "discontinued" , below, may be the ticket. I am hoping-waiting for a definition from a doctor friend in the CR

"Nedostupny" means that is not available.
