Thus, 170 declarations on medication without marking waiting for meetings and decisions of the Ministry of health.
Previously, there was a sharp rise in price of analgin. Prices from different manufacturers rose from 25% to 38%. If earlier the average price was 14 rubles, now about 17 rubles. Manufacturers explained such changes increase the cost of imported pharmaceutical substances of which make the drug. The price was affected by the depreciating ruble and stopped the pandemic in the early stages of the pharmaceutical production in India and China. Also dipyrone was removed from the list of essential medicines, for this reason its cost is now not regulated by the state.
