The Tariff (Price) Council of Azerbaijan warned the pharmacists that drugs should be sold at fixed prices, which cannot increase without a corresponding solution of the Council.
In fact, prices rose - so the akineton psychotropic drug, costing from 20 to 25 manats in July, disappeared from the shelves and it has been sold at prices from 32 to 35 manats in rare pharmacies in August. The Tariff Council insists on the contrary, but it does not carry out monitoring on the ground.
According to official information, 9,850 kinds of medicines have become cheaper, of which 7,347 are sold at new prices. The others will be sold under new conditions from September 1.
This means that from that date the sale of drugs, whose prices are not fixed, will be possible only after the approval of their value by the Tariff Council. But it is not specified, how sick people in need of scarce medicines should act. --17D-
