OREANDA-NEWS New foreign drugs continue to appear in Russia, but at the same time, if some pharmaceutical companies do not want to supply their products to the Russian Federation, then it is worth thinking about developing a regulatory mechanism by which similar drugs can be made inside the country, despite the patent, Russian Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"New drugs are coming in. But we also need to think about the fact that if some companies decide not to enter our market, then maybe some regulatory mechanisms should be done. If they don't want to, then do it themselves, despite some patent things," Murashko said, answering the question whether new foreign drugs that the Russian pharmaceutical industry cannot yet replace are entering the Russian market.
