Shortage of cholesterol medication in Volgograd: manufacturer names the cause
Published
A major Russian pharmaceutical company has confirmed that a shortage of a domestically produced drug for high cholesterol has emerged in pharmacies in Volgograd. Residents of the city who take this medication regularly may not be able to find it at their usual pharmacies. Company representatives explained the situation by difficulties with raw materials.
According to the manufacturer, the disruptions are linked to supplies of the components needed to produce the drug. The company says it is working to restore stocks and return the medication to pharmacies. The official statement did not specify a timeline for resuming sales.
In Volgograd pharmacies, buyers may notice that the drug is not available at every point of sale. Specialists advise patients not to change their treatment on their own or stop taking the medication without consulting a doctor. If the needed drug is unavailable, a doctor can suggest analogues with the same effect.
If you encounter a shortage of this medication, it is worth calling several pharmacies or checking the drug's availability online. You can also consult your doctor to receive recommendations in good time. The situation remains difficult for now, and residents of the region should follow news from the manufacturer and local authorities.
