Today funds with codeine withdrawn from free sale

The Ministry of health not long ago made statements about how to get rid of the free sale of medicines containing codeine. This statement spoke and wrote very much, as always had a lot of supporters and many of those who were against such a ban. However, despite all the discontent, the decision is still out in the light and the drugs, which contain codeine, still withdrawn from General sale. And now, when the decision entered into its legal force, pharmacies can freely buy painkillers and cough medicine, which no codeine. This was reported "gazeta.RU".

This resolution was created with the aim to maximally eradicate from society the so-called drugstore drug addiction. But despite all the advantages of the decision the chief psychiatrist of the Russian Federation Yevgeny Bryun questioned the ban. He believes that this is ineffective because drug-addicted people can switch to other drugs, and the already long queues in polyclinics will grow even stronger, as all rush to get a prescription for kazeinovye drugs.

It should be added that many of our pharmacies to many of the rulings are unfair. This dishonesty lies in the fact that representatives of pharmacies are acquiring large quantities of medicine from completely unknown wholesalers, - said the representative of the health Ministry Natalia Nikolaeva.

To the doctor for a prescription you should contact when you need the product, which are salts of codeine. So you can buy drugs in the amount of up to 200 milligrams per 100 milliliters of liquid dosage forms and up to 20 milligrams in 1 dose solid dosage forms. Based on this we can conclude that we should forget about drugs such as "Pentalgin-N" "Kaffetin", "Solpadein", "Codelac", "Nurofen Plus"and"Terpincod".

It is also worth noting that the forms of medicines with codeine are special, have a strict accountancy and wear No. 148. Received prescription have to go to the pharmacy. The pharmacy will take the prescription and not return back there it will be stored for three years. Veronika Skvortsova, Minister of health, calms, and says in pharmacies the alternative medicines that contain codeine. All of these drugs is no worse than codeine drugs and have affordable prices.

With regard to FDCS, they, in turn, quite positively reacted to this decree. And all becausedrug products that contain the opiate codeine, drug addicts, people prepare a very toxic drug called desomorphine that can cause gangrene. In order that the picture would have been clearer let, a drug addict who takes heroin, living in for 5-7 years, but those who take desomorphine, live on average 1-2 years.

A large number of drug addicts go to desomorphine, as it managed to reduce the entrance point for illegal opiates. So, in order to obtain one dose of desomorphine, just ten pills, including codeine. Nowadays, we can say that in some regions of Central Russia illegal drugs has completely replaced the desomorphine, as well as food opium from poppy.

The new regulations, as mentioned earlier, has its advocates and opponents. Opponents argue that drugs with codeine more effective than most monotherapies. Here is what Professor of the Kazan state medical University, who expert Vladimir Mendelevich: "In the absence of potent painkillers patients simply can't cope with the pain. But our medical professionals are afraid to prescribe a prescription drugs with codeine, because they are afraid of inspections by the Federal drug control service. And the result is that the families of these patients go on receiving such drugs, feeling either criminals or drug dealers".

"To extinguish the cough center in some diseases is possible only with the help of those drugs, which include codeine. Recently, we have proposed a control method codeine. For example, to release such drugs on the passport to be exactly sure that the medicine was in good hands. You can also reduce the quantity of the pills from a hundred to three," said co-chair of the Committee examination of the National medical chamber, member of the Public Council for protection of patients ' rights at Roszdravnadzor Alexey Starchenko.
