Corvalol and similar drugs will be sold without a prescription, said Alexander Fedorov on Monday, deputy director of the Federal Drug Control Service, RIA Novosti reports. He denied media reports that these drugs will be sold only by prescription.

“Corvalol, Valocordin as they were and will remain on free sale,” Fedorov said at a press conference. “There are no these drugs in the relevant order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, which regulates the leave of drugs according to prescriptions.”

According to the representative of the FSKN, speculators can use the artificial excitement, which is now rising around the mentioned drugs. “There are no legal grounds for such a stir,” said the representative of the FSKN.

Earlier it was reported that the new list of potent means that pharmacies must be released according to the recipe include Corvalol, Valocordin, Valoserdin, Plancholitin and a number of other popular drugs. The composition of Valocordin and Corvalola includes phenobarbital.

Gazeta.ru said that the Corvalol Boom began in St. Petersburg pharmacies. In Moscow, according to Interfax, there is no excitement.

“Today we are working in a completely ordinary format,” the administrator of one of the pharmacies in the center of Moscow told the agency. “In addition, I also heard about allegedly the ban on these medicines without a doctor’s prescription from the media, but we did not receive any instructions on this score.”

The administrator of another pharmacy, also located within the garden ring, about Valocordin and Corvalola said that "today the demand for them is completely ordinary." "In principle, these medicines are always consumed by older people, as a rule, as a prescription of a doctor. However, if you ask to sell this medicine, then we will let you go in a small amount under your responsibility," she said.
