Deficiency of medicines: Russia becomes impossible to treat infertility

Medical officials offer doctors to look for analogues, but they are not produced in Russia. The deficit became "Prohynov", "Estrohel", "Sawgel". It puts a cross on IVF, doctors and patients say. Many Russians have been complaining for a shortage of gynecological drugs, including hormonal for several months. According to the obstetrician-gynecologists of Xenia dry, pharmacies cannot be found hormonal drugs "Proginova", "Estrohel", "Zavigel".

The Ministry of Health is said to be not a vital medicine, suggesting doctors to prescribe patients something else. "But there are no analogues in our country, it puts a cross on IVF (extracorporeal fertilization) in the country and pregnancy in general," Sukhova says. The gynecologist emphasizes that the remnants of medicines in the warehouses have expired. Pharmacies sometimes appear "Estrohell", which is instantly purchased.

According to Xenia dry, hormonal drugs are prescribed for infertility, pregnancy planning, as well as during perimenopause and after menopause. "It is impossible to do in the programs of IVF without hormones," she said. "Today, interruptions are observed with all estrogen drugs for self -purchase.

" The doctor notes that women who have already started to undergo treatment. Deficiency -related troubles are better protected because the patient is reserved hormonal drugs directly in stocks. "They usually cover all needs," Sukhova says. The deficit arose because many Western pharmaceutical companies ceased to work in Russia after the February invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine. Therefore, Russians who are preparing for IVF have to look for an alternative.
