Since the beginning of the crisis (ie from autumn 2008) in our country there is a significant increase in drug prices. This is due primarily to the substantial dependence of the Russian pharmaceutical market from imports of raw materials. Accordingly, local pharmacists and their products were linked to the ruble exchange rate against major world currencies. This is recognized in the antitrust department.
