Assortment of foreign medicines is shrinking in Russian pharmacies
Published
In Russia, changes are being observed in the list of available medications. According to the latest data, the state registration of a number of foreign drugs intended for the treatment of oncological and autoimmune diseases has been canceled. This decision directly affects the availability of certain types of therapy for Russian patients.
Experts note that the cancellation of registration concerns medicines that were previously supplied from abroad. Among them are drugs used to combat serious chronic diseases, including HIV. At present, relevant departments are assessing the situation to understand which analogs can replace the medications disappearing from sale.
For many patients, the issue of finding high-quality medicines is becoming particularly acute. Doctors emphasize that the transition to other drugs must take place strictly under medical supervision. Authorities are working to ensure uninterrupted supplies of necessary products and to support domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The situation remains under the control of the Ministry of Health. Patients who have encountered a lack of necessary medicines in pharmacies are advised to contact their attending physicians to select alternative treatment regimens. It is expected that additional information on measures to stabilize the pharmaceutical market will be presented in the near future.
