According to the letter of the head of Mordovia Dvorkovich, if this initiative of law enforcement authorities and the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation will enter into force, it can hurt a pharmaceutical company “Promomed-Rus” which produces drugs “useless” and “useless Meth, which contain a psychotropic substance sibutramin.
— These drugs have been successfully sold. And the company “Promomed-Rus” in 2015, became a shareholder of the pharmaceutical company JSC “Biochemist”, located in Mordovia. The company has invested 1.5 billion rubles in the modernization of JSC “Biochemist”, — said in his letter Deputy Prime Minister of wolves.
According to base “SPARK Interfaks” in 2014, the company “Promomed-Rus” has earned almost 100 million roubles, and losses of the company amounted to more than 50 million
No state contracts with pharmacists to supply medicines not. As follows from the information posted on the website of the company, the drugs “useless” and “useless Met for weight loss are the main drugs produced by the company.

According to Vladimir Volkov, the restrictive measures that indicate the sale of the drug only in specialized pharmacies licensed by the interior Ministry, will lead to a drop in sales Reduxine” and “Reduxine Met and a decrease in the revenue of the enterprise.
With the decrease in revenue, “Promomed-Rus” can be reduced and investments of the company in OJSC “Biochemist” and it will put in jeopardy the campaign for import substitution, — says in his letter to Arkady Dvorkovich wolves.
To his letter the officer applied the letter of the Director General “Promomed-Rus” Maxim Yakushkin, in which he recounts all of the same problems as wolves.
— Most likely, “Promomed-Rus” in 2015, became the shareholder of “Biochemist” and began its modernization in order to start production there “Reduxine” and “Reduxine Met, which are successfully sold in Russia, — said the Life, the analyst of the pharmaceutical market IMS Nikolay Demidov.
Over review life appealed to the head of Mordovia Republic. The head of the press service of Vladimir Volkova Elena Bashkirtseva said the Life that the letter that was sent by the head of the region Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, have as their object the support of the investment project on release of a new import-substituting medical products to the largest domestic pharmaceutical company OJSC “Biochemist”.
— This company is one of the leading in the country, it employs more than 1,200 people, and Vladimir Volkov constantly monitors the activities of a strategic company — says Bashkirtseva. To the operational review guide “Promomed-Rus to Life failed.
I wonder what the reaction is. not made to wait long.
In his order, directed to the Ministry of health on 17 March 2016, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich indicated that the legal regulation of drugs “useless” and “useless Meth” is sufficient, and their inclusion in the list of drugs subject to substantive quantitative accounting is unfounded.
— These drugs and so are sold on prescription, but only all pharmacies, without exception, stated the official.
However, the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation sent to the Ministry of justice to register the Order of April 14, 2016 n 234н on amendments to some orders, causing the vacation Reduxine” and “Reduxine Met” needs to be tightened.
Then in late may, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich sent a letter to the Minister of health Veronika Skvortsova, in which he demanded to explain why, despite his decision that the legal regulation of drugs “useless” and “useless Meth” is sufficient, the Ministry of health has included them in the list of drugs that require more stringent control (Order of 14 April 2016 No. 234н).

Life sent a written request to the Ministry of health with the request to tell what the Ministry attributed the disregard for the orders of Deputy Prime Minister. However, the request remained unanswered.
Press Secretary of Deputy Prime Minister Aliya Samigullina to the question, what made Arkady Dvorkovich attend to the problems of implementation of drugs “useless” and “useless Met”, stated the following:
— But the head of Mordovia Republic with a request to deal with the sale of “Reduxine” the government asked representatives of other regions of the Russian Federation and the leaders of the Russian pharmaceutical companies producing the drug, she said.
In the opinion of the Chairman of National anticorruption Committee Cyril Kabanova, in this story there may be a conflict of interest.
For clarification of all circumstances likely to need the intervention of the staff of the office for combating corruption of the Russian presidential Administration, ” he says. — It is impossible to speak about some kind of economic benefit, as in his letter Deputy Prime Minister says the head of Mordovia Vladimir Volkov, when it comes to the health of citizens and their safety.
However, the Executive Director of the Pharmacy Guild of Russia Elena Nevolina said Life, that is not very clear why the Ministry of health decided to limit the sales of products with sibutramine as information about what to buy it for nonmedical purposes, no.
In addition, the source of life in the interior Ministry reported that police witchcraft is not included in the list of narcotic and psychotropic substances sibutramine.
– Now in our office there are no instructions that prescribe specific storage and specific prescription records for drugs with content sibutramina, ” said one officer.
As noted in the Ministry of internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, specialized pharmacies are now in Russia there are approximately 3 thousand, which is enough. They are all equipped with alarm button, guarded by an employee of the PSC or the Ministry of interior of the Russian Federation, and all narcotic and psychotropic drugs are stored in special safes.
– The Ministry of health of the Russian Federation, most likely, with the situation with the tightening of rules of storage and sale “Reduxine” and “Reduxine Met” wishful thinking, showing initiative, — said the policeman.
Quite the opposite opinion was expressed to the Life CEO Kirill Kabanov.
— The Ministry of health has received, in my opinion, is absolutely correct to include drugs “useless” and “useless Meth, which contain psychotropic substances, the list of drugs that should be sold in specialized pharmacies — the Chairman of the NAC. And we need to understand why Deputy Prime Minister, by order, is trying to reverse the order of the Ministry of health.
