Russian doctors are faced with a shortage of more than 80 drugs, including children’s Nurofen and antidepressants. This is reported by Vedomosti with reference to the result of a survey of 3317 doctors by employees of the professional community Vrachi.rf.
“Doctors have encountered shortages of more than 80 drugs in practice. Doctors told about problems with anti-inflammatory (children’s nurofen), gastroenterological (ursofalk), antiepileptic, anticonvulsant drugs (finlepsin, depakine, diazepam, carbamazepine, latuda-56). ”
There is also a shortage of the antidepressants paroxetine and anafranil and the antipsychotic rispolept. In addition, there are problems with drugs for the pancreas, thyroid, for diabetics, with combined oral contraceptives and drugs for menopausal hormone therapy.
It is noted that the peak of the deficit is already behind. It was caused by rush demand.
