Foreign-made medicines to disappear from pharmacies

Analytical laboratories deny analysis of their drugs to foreign pharmaceutical companies.

A reader of charter97.org Dzmitry Ramanovich informed that next week foreign-made drugs which have analogues in Belarus, are not to be taken by laboratories for analysis.

“After the consultations on drugs import substitution last week, since this week analytical laboratories deny to take foreign drugs with domestic analogues for chemical examination. No reasons for that are given,” he said.

Vitsebsk-based Farmacyja unitary enterprise told charter97.org reporter that “no comments are given at the moment,” while the head of the Republican analytical laboratory of the Center for Expert Examinations and Testing in Public Health Care Maryna Kravets denied comments as well.

We remind that it’s not the first warning bell in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, in autumn 2014 the same reports were received by the editorial office of charter97.org. Then we were the first to publish insider information about the upcoming deficiency of foreign-made medicines. These reports were confirmed later, and up till now pharmacists just shrug their shoulders when said about absence of foreign drugs. Even deputy Health Care Minister Valery Shauchuk assured in his turn that such things are impossible, and such a shortage contradicts laws.

However, the Health Care Ministry has not banned drugs price rise in pharmacies. Representatives of pharmaceutical companies who deliver drugs comment the situation reluctantly. Those who were available for conversation admitted that it was true and in connection with freezing of prices they had to discontinue deliveries. Leftover stock is being sold in pharmacies, and suppliers are waiting in hope that finally the ban would be raised.
