Antibiotics, antiviral, anticoagulants - all this ends with us. “A ... a” (a drug is indicated here, which is often prescribed to patients with viral pneumonia - “but”) ends, it does not have suppliers or other pharmacies of Omsk, ”said the pharmacist of one of the networks. - Moreover, such a situation is not only in our region. We are called from Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk, asking them to send antibiotics to them - there all the drugs were dismantled. The situation is terrible. Even in the first wave of pandemia there was no such shortage. ”

“Now everything is scary - the doctor prescribes treatment, and, as customers tell us, he often does it on the phone without seeing the patient, he tries to buy drugs, but they are almost nowhere to be anywhere,” the pharmacist said.
