The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has supported amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Medicines”, which allow limiting the circulation of medicines manufactured in the Russian Federation or Belarus.

This was reported in the Ministry of Health.

The document allows the Ministry of Health to suspend or cancel the registration of a medicinal product in Ukraine if it was fully or partially produced in the Russian Federation or Belarus.

Russia does not produce original medicines, the vast majority of Russian-made drugs are generics that can be abandoned in favor of Ukrainian and European manufacturers.

The law also establishes a period for suspension of drug registration at 3 months. During this time, the pharmaceutical company may stop work on the territory of the Russian Federation or Belarus.

Recall that earlier the Ministry of Health listed drugs that will be used to combat COVID-19 in hospitals .
