In which cities medicines based on medical cannabis are already sold: there are six
As is known, electronic prescriptions for medical cannabis were issued for the first time in Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Health reminded that the dispensing of medicines based on medical cannabis is carried out by pharmacies that have the appropriate licenses.
According to the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control, about 36 municipal and 30 private business entities received such licenses for 180 places of activity.
It is noted that currently such medicines can be purchased in six pharmacies of a licensed operator in Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, and Khmelnytskyi.
Medicines based on medical cannabis are prescribed according to the list of diseases and conditions approved by the Ministry of Health. They can be obtained exclusively by electronic prescription from a primary or specialized medical care doctor.
According to approximate estimates, about 2 million Ukrainians living with cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other severe conditions may need such medicines for treatment or pain control.
