According to the document, from March 1, the trade (retail) supplement in pharmacies should not exceed 35% of the purchase price.
At the same time, the maximum trade (retail) allowance for the purchase price:
- for medicine worth up to 100 UAH – 25%,

We will remind, since March 1 in Ukraine it is prohibited to provide marketing services, services for promotion of medicinal products, information and other services related to the sale of medicinal products to the end consumer.
In addition, the State Consumer Service will restore checks of pharmacies and drug suppliers.
On February 10, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which will be dedicated to reducing the prices for medicines.
Earlier, we wrote that pharmacy retailers responded to President Zelensky’s accusations that there were crazy prices for medicines in Ukraine and signed a declaration on the availability of medicines.
Also in Ukraine the first medicines based on medical cannabis were registered. These are oral drops from the Spanish brand.
