With the onset of the second wave of coronavirus, the issue of the lack of antibiotics and antivirals in pharmacies is being discussed very actively. However, problems arise not only with the purchase of drugs for the treatment of viral diseases, but also with the receipt of specialized drugs for patients with oncology and diabetes mellitus
Kursk public figure and social technologist Roman Alekhin wrote about these problems on his page. He regularly receives messages from the chickens that pharmacies do not have the drugs that patients should receive for their disease:
Roman, good afternoon. I constantly follow your posts. Thank you for helping people! Forgive me for bothering you. I am addressing you with a cry from my heart. The following situation has arisen. My mother is a cancer patient (pulmonary artery disease), disabled of the first group. is on outpatient treatment, taking the drug GEOTRIF. But for almost three months this drug has not been delivered to the pharmacy, where we receive it. Previously there were breaks, but we called pharmacies in Kursk and we received the drug there. And now it On the part of the hospital, an order has been made to the pharmacy, we call the drug distribution committee. At first they picked up the phone and said wait, bought, and now they don’t pick up the phone at all. The call goes, but there is no answer on the other end of the line. We do not know what Do. Doctors said that it is impossible, that there was a break in taking medication for 3 months. We do not know what to do. Where to go? And how to get out of this situation. If you have such an opportunity to clarify this situation, help.
The drug is very expensive, there is no way to buy it yourself."
Roman Alekhin emphasized that the deputy governor of the Kursk region, Andrei Belostotsky, recently announced that the patients had been given medications.
Another resident of Kursk contacted the editorial office of KurskTV. Her 26-year-old grandson has been suffering from diabetes for 11 years and, according to the woman, problems with the purchase of medicines arise constantly.
"For more than 3 months there is no short insulin" Humalog "manufactured by Lilly France, France. Now there is no long insulin" Levemir "from the same company. On the issue of non-delivery of short insulin" Humalog "in September 2020, I wrote to the committee I wrote that we were given a substitute for short insulin St. Petersburg manufacturer. From this insulin the grandson had great discomfort, nausea. About these symptoms and that there was no necessary insulin from France, I was told that I needed the conclusion of the commission on the fact that another manufacturer is not suitable. The grandson is a disabled person of federal significance. I went, of course, to the pharmacy and ordered for a fee."
A few days ago, a woman went to the clinic of the emergency hospital. She has prescriptions for medicines on hand, but she has not been given any medicines either.
Problems with the distribution of drugs in the Kursk region to cancer patients and insulin-dependent people have already been repeatedly reported in recent months.
How the situation with the supply of drugs to pharmacies will develop further - time will show and KurskTV.
