In Russian pharmacies, they did not see the risk of the emergence of a feenazepam deficiency due to the tightening of the rules of its sales. About this radio station “Say Moscow” told the director of the Association of Pharmacy Networks Nelli Ignatiev.
“These questions, rather, to the doctors who will appoint a medicine,” she said and added that now there are enough such drugs in turnover.
Rules for the sale of a fenazepam in Russia tightened from the end of March. Now the drug refers to potent substances, and its sale without a prescription becomes criminalized. To implement pharmacies now you need to receive a special license and remove individual rooms, equipping them with alarm and metal door. Failure to comply with the rules faces a fine to 200 thousand rubles, and the pharmacy itself can close for 90 days.
By mid-April, many pharmacies began to abandon the sale of a phenazepam. You can only buy it only ten percent of pharmacies across the country. You can also order a drug online also because of the ban on remote trade in prescription drugs.
Now the pharmacies began to make a return on the phenazepam and abandon the purchases of new parties. “Part of the volume of the phenazepam we return to the suppliers, some are written off – this applies to pharmacies, where the phenazepam remained in minor volumes,” Alexander Filippov said the general director of Rigla. But with the return of goods distributors there are problems: not everyone is ready to take medicine back.
